Federated Learning for Collaborative Threat Intelligence Sharing: A Practical Approach
Keywords:
Federated Learning, Threat Intelligence, Collaborative IntelligenceAbstract
Federated Learning (FL), a decentralized machine learning method, allows companies exchange threat data. One research found FL improves cybersecurity and sharing threat information. Federated Learning learns a shared model decentralizedly using local data. Data is secure and corporations may interact.
FL model-aggregates sensitive data on-premises. FL aggregates model modifications, not raw data, for data privacy. Threat intelligence and FedAvg algorithm adjustments are reviewed. FL's cybersecurity-critical data confidentiality and integrity advantages are examined.
FL enhances threat information sharing program detection and response. Examples illustrate how FL frameworks use threat data to identify and handle emerging threats. FL's installations show how to establish a collaborative cybersecurity ecosystem where firms may share threat information without revealing data.
