FBI cyber chief worries private sector not sharing enough cyber threat information
FBI Assistant Director Brett Leatherman said private sector organizations are underreporting breaches to the bureau due to misconceptions about regulatory sharing and fears that involving law enforcement increases risk. He emphasized the FBI's updated approach prioritizes victim assistance and threat intelligence sharing while balancing operational security, stating the bureau will share information unless doing so would directly harm active investigations.
Why it matters: Security leaders and incident responders must reassess whether withholding breach notifications from the FBI is appropriate for nation-state compromises; engaging early law enforcement support can accelerate threat eradication and reduce dwell time.
