According to the white paper released on Monday by the Intelligence and National Security Alliance (INSA)—a non-partisan organization that represents elite leaders in the U.S. intelligence community—coordinated efforts across the private sector, academia, and the government would “mitigate risks associated with the threat, enhance our ability to assess the effects of cyber intrusion, and streamline cyber security into a more efficient and cost-effective process based on well-informed decisions.”

The paper, “Cyber Intelligence: Setting the Landscape for an Emerging Discipline,” [PDF] was slated to be released later this month, but after the Associated Press reported on a preview of the paper, INSA decided to publish the report on its website earlier than planned.
