Although there are many options for threat information sharing, there are not enough initiatives that are properly codified and defined so that enterprises can easily share relevant information with a business context in a structured and timely manner, says Avinash Prasad of Tata Communications (see: India's Information-Sharing Challenge).

"One can do operations well and have all sorts of service provider contracts. But the right information at the right time, in the right context around a threat can make a lot of difference," says Prasad, Tata's vice president and head of the managed security services business (see: Congress Set to Enact Cyberthreat Information-Sharing Law).

In this video interview conducted at Information Security Media Group's recent ISMG Fraud and Breach Prevention Summit in New Delhi, Prasad, who was a featured speaker at the event discusses:

• Lessons from information sharing efforts around the world;
• The vital importance of business context and domain-specific threat information;
• The role all industry stakeholders - individual practitioners and enterprises - play in information sharing.

Prasad heads the business area of managed security services globally for Tata Communications. He has a multi-functional focus on customer management, practice and solution development, business development, innovation and partnership. He previously served in leadership roles at Wipro and Infosys.
