Description:

As cyber threats continue to grow in scale and sophistication, the ability of organizations to share cyber threat intelligence (CTI) has become critical—yet such sharing ultimately relies on trust. Prior research highlights that CTI sharing is hampered by competing interpretations of “trust” and by barriers that are not purely technical. In this thesis, we investigate how technical mechanisms (such as blockchain-based infrastructures and AI-driven analysis) together with organizational conditions (including collaboration norms and policy frameworks) shape confidence in CTI and thereby enhance—or undermine—trust.
