One of the largest problems countries face on an international scale in the cyber domain is the lack of information sharing. This paper points out the few sharing agreements that exist between nations, and illustrates how weak and ill-defined many of them turn out to be. There are many benefits to sharing information related to cyber attacks and other incidents lined out. By sharing, each country has access to a wider pool of data – enabling for a much greater degree of protection in the future. Furthermore, if any attack happens in one country, the other will be warned ahead of time so that they can be better prepared against that same attack. Sharing information is also, simply, a great way for countries to communicate their priorities and goals in the cyber domain. Despite all of these, the paper points out several of the issues in the current policies, and recommends ways to solidify their promises and promote a stronger environment for conveying important data to allies.
