The identification of information sources to aid with Critical Information Infrastructure Protection

Providing Critical Information Infrastructure Protection (CIIP) has become an important focus area for countries across the world with the widespread adoption of computer systems and computer networks that handle and transfer large amounts of sensitive information on a daily basis. Most large organisations have their own security teams that provide some form of protection against cyber attacks that are launched by cybercriminals. It is however often the case that smaller stakeholders such as schools, pharmacies and other SMEs might not have the required means to protect themselves against these cyber attacks. The distribution of relevant and focused information is an important part of providing effective protection against cyber attacks. In this paper some of the existing mechanisms and formats in which information related to software security vulnerabilities are provided to the public are discussed and reviewed. Providing focused and relevant information can enable smaller stakeholders such as SMEs that have a limited set of skills and expertise to limit their risk of exposure to cyber attacks.
