The Growing Irrelevance of US Government Cybersecurity Intelligence Information

Presented at DEF CON 21 (2013), Aug. 2, 2013, 11 a.m. (45 minutes).

The rapidly changing threat landscape has finally provided relevant business justification for commercial companies to invest in developing cybersecurity intelligence that used to be the domain of the government - and they are doing it at a pace that is making the value of government “Classified" cybersecurity information increasingly irrelevant. The organic intelligence being developed by private companies and the informal cybersecurity intelligence coming out of the research community and some “Invitation Only" or “You’re Not Invited” groups is simply more actionable and more valuable than that provided by the government. While the federal government will always, and should always, have important visibility of the threat, the evolution of technology is giving the private sector the means to develop sophisticated, high quality information that rivals the government.
