Security News > 2021 > July > Collective Intelligence: Realities and Hardships of Crowdsourced Threat Intel
Enterprise security teams need to move from the consumption of crowdsourced threat intelligence to an additional mode of contribution.
We are a community with grand ideas around the concept of crowdsourced threat intelligence, but with little history or previous successes that show CTI as a viable idea.
In this context, the crowdsourced data could be from the many open-source projects or the third-party vendors who provide threat intel.
The concept of crowdsourcing is not new to enterprise security teams - we have all been sharing our intel for a while, mostly in small private friendly circles through email, instant message, and other messaging platforms.
We are in a day and age where the ability to inundate security teams with high-volume threat intel is common.
People with these skills have been uncommon on enterprise security teams because it usually resides more on software engineering teams.
