Read the marking
FIRST’s Traffic Light Protocol communicates sharing boundaries. Check the original marking and any additional instructions before forwarding material into a client newsletter or public article.
Public access is not a blanket license
TLP:CLEAR permits broad sharing under the protocol but does not remove copyright obligations. A public image, report or feed still needs a reuse assessment.
Make context travel with the alert
Our editorial practice is to retain the source, date and applicable markings. When the permitted audience is uncertain, seek clarification from the originator instead of stripping labels and reposting the material.
Sources & further reading
Our practical suggestions are editorial guidance. Verify applicability against current source and vendor instructions.
