DISA wants the cyber threat indicator sharing capability to:

  • Distribute cyber threat indicators through a publisher/subscriber model in near real-time
  • Data storage and data management
  • Dashboard and management
  • System integration
  • Security requirements, such as transport layer security and public key infrastructure certificates.

DISA released the RFI Nov. 29. Responses are due by Dec. 6.
