Based on a comprehensive literature survey, the constructs of cybersecurity information sharing ecosystem have been defined in detail. Using this ecosystem, interrelationships among stakeholders with respect to are analyzed, value parameters determined, functions defined, and values obtained by through simulation calculated. Furthermore, it is investigated whether involved can create sufficient sustain market. The outcome research includes an economic model for evaluating creation distribution stakeholders. This critical step forward better align (i.e., utilities profits) results show that end users main source generation. Cybersecurity solution providers get benefits from growing installed base users. However, saturated markets, there risk un-sustainability as cost solutions cannot be recovered their fees. findings study help business managers make decisions related strategies, sustainability, pricing schemes information. Moreover, working essential adoption cloud computing and, especially, edge computing. It allows capturing, disseminating, aggregating large number devices reliably accurately.
