This document discusses the importance of information sharing in combating terrorism. It argues that one of the key reasons governments have struggled to curb terrorism is a lack of effective information sharing between agencies. The document proposes that electronic information sharing (EIS) could help develop better tools for intelligence gathering and counterterrorism efforts by facilitating coordination, collaboration, and real-time information exchange between intelligence communities, government agencies, and other stakeholders. Effective EIS may allow for improved decision-making, risk management, and emergency response by inventorying assets and promoting a culture of multidirectional information sharing.
