We adhere to these markings because trust in data handling is crucial, the US
gov says.
FULL STORY
======================================================================
The White House just issued new guidance on how federal agencies should use
the Traffic Light Protocol (TLP).
In an announcement posted on the White House website, the US government said
it will follow TLP markings on cybersecurity information voluntarily shared
by an individual, company, or other any organization, when not in conflict
with existing law or policy.
We adhere to these markings because trust in data handling is a key component
of collaboration with our partners, the announcement concludes. Trust is
pivotal
TLP is a set of rules the cybersecurity community follows, on what
information can be shared, how, and with whom. It uses four color codes to
distinguish who gets to read what:
Clear means information can be shared with anyone
Green means information should not be publicly accessible, but can be shared
with peers and partners
Amber means information can be shared only with those who need to know about
it, such as other members of an organization, or certain clients
Amber+Strict means information is for limited disclosure, only for certain
people within an organization
Red should not be disclosed to anyone besides those who already know about
it, without their permission
The Traffic Light Protocol (TLP) is important in cybersecurity because it
provides a clear and standardized way to control the sharing and distribution
of sensitive information. That way, all parties can make sure the data
reaches only the intended audiences, without taking unnecessary risks. By
categorizing information into levels of confidentiality, TLP helps prevent
unauthorized access or exposure, which can reduce the risk of data leaks or
security breaches.
Furthermore, it is important for building trust and collaboration within and
between organizations, as participants can confidently share information with
an understanding of how it should be handled. This protocol is especially
crucial in incident response, intelligence sharing, and collaborative
cybersecurity efforts where discretion is needed to protect both sensitive
information and the individuals or organizations involved.
