Georgia Tech researchers have found significant weaknesses in the global threat intelligence ecosystem, revealing that only 17% of infosec vendors share threat intelligence gathered from sandbox analysis, and that information bottlenecks delay defender response by hours to days. Their study, to be presented at NDSS 2026, used specially crafted benign-but-suspicious binaries to track how 30 security vendors share data. The findings are complicated by geopolitical tensions—notably China's apparent ban on US and Israeli security software—which threaten to fragment global threat data sharing. Researchers propose a provenance-encoding system to let operators use policy-compliant threat intelligence regardless of country of origin, though they acknowledge the core challenge is institutional governance rather than technical.
