Threat intelligence sharing is a promising solution to enhance knowledge and situational awareness of the rapidly growing number of emerging cyber threats. Accordingly, there are a variety of platforms on the security solutions market that enable the efficient and targeted exchange of threat intelligence across organisations. Unfortunately, very little is known so far about the dissemination and use of these platforms from the end-user perspective. To address this issue, we conducted an exploratory study on the use of threat intelligence sharing platforms in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. For this purpose, we surveyed 69 security and IT experts from large companies, federal authorities and public universities in autumn 2022. Our findings show, among other things, a growing interest in threat intelligence sharing platforms and their value to information security processes.
