The exchange of information regarding threats and vulnerabilities is fundamental to the success of security responses. However, effective and timely distribution will only thrive in an environment where trust is sustained. This requires not only an agreed-upon language and a policy framework as well as a clear understanding about what can be done with shared information and by who.
Sending, sharing and receiving sensitive data – even large file sizes – over the internet in a safe way is the reason why secure exchange of information is all about. As companies expand and work with partners and suppliers across borders, the need for this type of communication will rise.
In the business world of today, the safe transmission of large and small files, ad-hoc messages and other documents will become increasingly important. In many cases encryption is an essential part of the communication process. For instance, encryption for email is required to ensure that communications are secure.
There are a variety of ways to send, share and receive messages safely. One option is using an exchange portal with security that allows encrypted point-topoint messaging as well as storage. Cloud folders are a different option, where both access to both writes and reads is possible.
The NIST document Management of the Security of Information Exchanges states that the level of security required for a more organized information exchange should be proportional to the risk. This is to ensure that the integrity, confidentiality and accessibility of information is secured when it is transferred between different entities.
