I certainly see this theme of "information sharing" and"standards" emanating from US politics. I am sure similar issues are being debated else where globally. 

Thanks for providing the snap shot of the intricacies of security information.  I wanted to emphasis some of the problems we are trying solve here. We are trying to solve the problem of communicating and connecting the dots all in a cooperative and cohesive way.  So it starts with standardizing the Security Automation specifications.

I look forward to seeing more of the "vulnerability interoperability" proposal.

Thanks.
