Information sharing in cyberspace includes the sharing of attack methods, tools and means of attack, targets of an attack, weaknesses discovered, and ways of dealing with threats. Information sharing constitutes a strategic defensive principle. It is aimed at enhancing general strength in cyberspace. Various and diverse information-sharing initiatives are currently operating in Israel and throughout the world, but they are not as effective as they could be. This article addresses a number of economic and political challenges facing intra-sectorial information-sharing initiative, and examines the extent of their influence, and gives examples of similar challenges in other fields. Finally, we make recommendations in order to minimize the effects of the challenges imposed upon the design and implementation of informationsharing plans in an intra-sectorial environment.
