Two new surveys released in the last week revealed troubling but telling trends in enterprise security: 70 percent of infosec professionals are overwhelmed by the volume and complexity of threat intelligence data, according to a report from security vendor Anomali and the Ponemon Institute; a separate survey from consultancy BDO USA found that only 27% of respondents share security information externally, with an almost equal number (24%) saying they don’t share information at all.

The Anomali survey also identified information sharing challenges. Barely one-third (31%) of organizations share threat intel with board and C-level leaders.
