us take a step back and look at a use-case} \begin{frame} \frametitle{Some stats about one of our MISP instance: MISPPriv (1)} \includegraphics[width=0.45\linewidth]{pictures/misppriv-usage.png} \includegraphics[width=0.45\linewidth]{pictures/misppriv-user-org-stats.png} \end{frame} \begin{frame} \frametitle{Some stats about one of our MISP instance: MISPPriv (2)} \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=1.0\linewidth]{pictures/bokeh_new_org.png} \end{center} \end{frame} \begin{frame} \frametitle{Issues we're trying to solve} Rising number of communities is great! \begin{itemize} \item \textbf{Bridge the gap} between between communities \item Sharing with peers that face \textbf{similar threats} \item \textbf{Reuse} of TTPs across sectors \item \textbf{Hybrid threats} How seemingly unrelated things may be interesting to correlate \item \textbf{Spread the love}, as our field is ahead of several other sectors when it comes to information sharing \end{itemize} \end{frame} \begin{frame} \frametitle{Issues we're trying to solve} However, broader and more diverse communities lead to more issues \begin{itemize} \item {Non-technical issues} \begin{itemize} \item Overwhelming amount of points of contacts \item Sharing difficulties in terms of social interactions (e.g trust) \end{itemize} \end{itemize} \vspace{1em} \begin{minipage}{0.27\textwidth} \includegraphics[scale=0.4]{pictures/firstcti-hastag.png} \end{minipage} \begin{minipage}{0.6\textwidth} {\large greatly helps in that aspect!} \end{minipage} \end{frame} \begin{frame} \frametitle{Issues we're trying to solve} \begin{itemize} \item {Technical issues} \begin{itemize} \item Centralised identity management \item Loads of UUIDs to manually process \item Distribution list management is difficult across communities \end{itemize} \end{itemize} \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=1.0\linewidth]{pictures/org-circl.png} \end{center} \end{frame} \begin{frame} \frametitle{Issues we're trying to solve with Cerebrate} \begin{itemize} \item Constituencies of organisations \begin{itemize} \item Geographic \& sectorial \item But also

Sharing groups? \end{itemize} \end{itemize} \end{frame} \begin{frame} \frametitle{Issues we're trying to solve with Cerebrate} \begin{itemize} \item Customisable data model adaptable to each community \begin{itemize} \item Communities with an existing registry want to build on their data-set, rather than rebuild \item Different types of concerns for different communtiies \item Based on the sheer amount of different types of communities, \textbf{it's a must} \end{itemize} \item Sharing group management \item Synchronisation and lookup system \end{itemize} \end{frame} \begin{frame} \frametitle{Our attempt at solving them: Cerebrate} \begin{itemize} \item Open source community management and orchestration tool \end{itemize} \begin{center}

\texttt{meta-templates} \item Support of multiple templates used by various entities out there \begin{itemize} \item FIRST Directory \item ENISA CSIRT inventory \item CSIRT Constituency (CIDR blocks, AS Numbers, ...) \end{itemize} \end{itemize} \end{frame} \begin{frame} \frametitle{Cerebrate's contact database: Meta-fields} \begin{center}

\end{frame} \begin{frame} \frametitle{Cerebrate's contact database: Sharing group management} \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=0.9\linewidth]{pictures/sharinggroup.png} \end{center} \end{frame} \begin{frame} \frametitle{Cerebrate's contact database: Identity and Signing} \begin{itemize} \item Cerebrate can act as a trusted contact database containing cryptographic keys (PGP, S/MIME) \item Which can be used by other applications to sign and validate information \begin{itemize} \item See MISP's protected Event feature \end{itemize} \end{itemize} \end{frame} \begin{frame}

contact database: Open Directory} \begin{itemize} \item Cerebrate can be configured to act as an \textbf{open} directory of contact information \item Other tools (including other Cerebrate nodes) can use this directory \item Allows for information and information source validation \end{itemize} \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=0.8\linewidth]{pictures/open-directory.png} \end{center} \end{frame} \begin{frame} \frametitle{Data sharing} Basically the same strategy as the one used in MISP: \begin{itemize} \item \textbf{Connect} with other Cerebrate nodes \item \textbf{Diagnose} connectivity issues \item Remotely \textbf{browse} data of the other node \item \textbf{Fetch and save} organisation, individual, sharing-group data \end{itemize} \end{frame} \begin{frame}

Why would Cerebrate have integration with other tools? \begin{itemize} \item To support information sharing, being able to validate information sources is crucial \item Traditional information sharing software stacks have to have their own organisation database \item Why re-invent the wheel everytime? \end{itemize} \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=0.2\linewidth]{pictures/software-stack.png} \end{center} \end{frame} \begin{frame} \frametitle{Managing local tools} There will inevitably be integration between local tools and Cerebrate.
