The Traffic Light Protocol (TLP) is a framework used to facilitate the sharing of sensitive information. It categorizes information into four color-coded levels: Red, Amber, Green, and White. Each color indicates the level of sharing permitted, helping organizations communicate effectively while protecting sensitive data. - Red means the information is strictly confidential and should only be shared with specific individuals. - Amber allows sharing with a limited audience, while Green permits broader sharing within a community. - White indicates that the information can be shared freely with anyone. This protocol is commonly used in cybersecurity and intelligence communities.
