The Economics of Cybersecurity Research Data Sharing

Abstract

This final technical report describes the result of a research project investigating economic issues involving the sharing of cybersecurity research data. It describes an effort to investigate data use and production in cybersecurity research publications from 2012-2016. Evidence is presented that researchers regularly use public data as input to research, but only rarely make created data publicly available. Additionally, it is shown that publications that do create datasets and make them publicly available are cited more often than those that do not. Additionally, utilization of the DHS IMPACT platform is investigated. Attributes of datasets are identified that are associated with greater demand from research consumers. Additionally, the value of sharing taken place on the platform is estimated to be approximately $663 million.
