Abstract
The recent technological advances and changes in the daily human activities increased the production and sharing of data. In the ecosystem of interconnected systems, data can be circulated among systems for various reasons. This could lead to exchange of private or sensitive information between entities. Data Sanitisation involves processes and practices that remove sensitive and private information from documents before sharing them with entities that should not have access to this information. This paper presents the design and development of a data sanitisation and redaction solution for a Cyber Threat Intelligence sharing platform. The Data Sanitisation and Redaction Plugin has been designed with the purpose of operating as a plugin for the ECHO Project’s Early Warning System platform and enhancing its operative capabilities during information sharing. This plugin aims to provide automated security and privacy-based controls to the concept of CTI sharing over a ticketing system. The plugin has been successfully tested and the results are presented in this paper.
