Share or not to share: Investigating factors that influence Cyber Security Intelligence Sharing (CIS) across Organizations in New Zealand

This study investigates the factors that influence cybersecurity intelligence sharing (CIS) across organisations. Although CIS helps organisations protect their critical information assets, manage cyber risks, and improve cyber operations, there is still limited information available regarding the factors that influence the adoption of CIS within organisations in New Zealand. By synthesising relevant literature on cybersecurity intelligence sharing and conducting interviews with cybersecurity professionals in New Zealand, we deconstructed the concept of CIS and developed a theoretical framework that can explain the current state of CIS in New Zealand.
