The Traffic Light Protocol (TLP) is a standardized framework developed by FIRST to facilitate the sharing of sensitive information among different recipients while maintaining clear sharing boundaries. TLP consists of four labels—RED, AMBER, GREEN, and CLEAR—each indicating the level of confidentiality and restrictions on information sharing. The protocol is designed for ease of use and is applicable in various communication formats and automated systems.
