Security Tags are used to define the publicity of this content and very common on CSIRTs.

Traffic Light Protocol: This group is used to ensure that sensitive information is shared with the correct audience. It employs four colors (White, Green, Amber, and Red) to indicate different degrees of sensitivity. For each color, you can assign the appropriate read/write access roles. When sharing observables to a trusted security circle, the tag assigned to the trusted security circle profile determines which TLP-tagged observables can be shared to the circle, as follows:

  • TLP: WHITE: Only observables with TLP: WHITE can be shared to a TLP: WHITE profile.
  • TLP: GREEN: Observables with TLP: GREEN and TLP: WHITE can be shared to a TLP: GREEN profile.
  • TLP: AMBER: Observables with TLP: AMBER, TLP: GREEN, and TLP: WHITE can be shared to a TLP: AMBER profile.
  • TLP: RED: All observables, regardless of their TLP tag, can be shared with a TLP: RED profile since TLP: RED is the highest ranked TLP tag.

Please take a look at the definition at FIRST.org --> https://www.first.org/tlp/

I hope it helps.
