Cyber Threat Intelligence: A Component of Emergency Management Intelligence
Abstract:
Cybertechnology is critical for operational and other aspects of public/private emergency/disaster management (EM). Any adverse impacts of incidents to the public could be cyber-oriented and/or attacks may be directed at EM entities themselves. The application of cyber threat intelligence (CTINT) to EM needs to be implemented as part of an overall paradigm change to both the EM’s Incident Command System (ICS) structure and the Intelligence Community’s modus operandi. This change must be incorporated into a new concept of Emergency Management Intelligence (EMINT) and widely promulgated through both EM and the IC. EMINT’s need for cyber threat intelligence—whether via tradecraft from the IC or not—must be centrally curated and disseminated throughout EM’s ICS for collaborative incident response and recovery.
