Summary
The Jukebox Podcast episode features David Snead, founder of the Secure Hosting Alliance and a veteran of the hosting industry since 1999. He explains how the Internet Infrastructure Forum (IIF) is building a framework for real‑time intelligence sharing and abuse reporting that spans registrars, registries, DNS providers, hosting companies and cloud services.
Snead highlights that the goal is to level up ethics and professionalism while fostering camaraderie among hosts, allowing them to detect and stop attacks faster than adversaries can adapt. The IIF’s voluntary organization, based in Paris and run by the Internet and Jurisdiction Foundation, provides a common channel for non‑proprietary abuse information that can be shared across borders.
For agencies and hosting operators, the initiative means a new source of actionable threat data and a collaborative environment that can reduce duplicated effort and improve overall security posture.
