Recommended Context and Framework for a National Cyber Information Sharing InitiativeProvided By: AFCEA
Oct 2016There has been increased public dialogue recently regarding the importance, potential benefits and urgency of sharing cyber-related information. The inference from much of the dialogue is
that information sharing is viewed as a primary means to improve the nation's cybersecurity posture. AFCEA's Cyber Committee has been evaluating the topic of information sharing. This paper provides additional recommendations for establishing the
standards and implementation of an effective National Information Sharing Infrastructure.
Recommended Implementation Strategies for a National Cyber Information Sharing InitiativeProvided By: AFCEA
May 2016The AFCEA Cyber Committee has continued to evaluate the appropriate strategies for improving our nation's approaches to information sharing. In the fall of 2014, the committee developed a set of recommendations and provided them to the White House team evaluating this topic. More recently, the committee provided recommendations regarding the appropriate context and framework for developing a national cyber information sharing infrastructure.

The Future of Internet Governance - AFCEA Cyber Committee
Provided By: AFCEA Jan 2014
The central theme of our research was and remains the issue of the existing and future evolution of the much-debated current Internet governance model. The current construct is often described as the ICANN model after the organization that has its roots in the earliest history of the Internet and has indeed evolved to represent global needs. It is easy to find alternative models, along with advocates for each. We present some of them and offer pros/cons for each.
