Collaborative cybersecurity relies on organizations sharing information to boost security, but trust management is a key concern. Decentralized solutions like distributed ledgers, particularly blockchain, are crucial for eliminating single points of failure. However, the existing literature on blockchain-based collaborative cybersecurity is limited, lacking comprehensive insights. This paper addresses this gap by surveying blockchain's role in collaborative cybersecurity from 2016 to 2023. It explores various applications, trends, and the evolution of blockchain technology, focusing on access control, data validation policies, underlying tech, and consensus mechanisms. A key finding is the fragmentation of the field with no dominant research group or venue. Many recent projects poorly select consensus protocols for their blockchain. To aid researchers and practitioners, this paper offers guidelines for choosing the right blockchain for specific purposes and highlights open research areas and lessons learned from past blockchain applications in collaborative cybersecurity, encouraging further exploration in this field.

翻译：协作式网络安全依赖于组织间共享信息来提升安全水平，但信任管理是一个关键问题。分布式账本（尤其是区块链）等去中心化解决方案对于消除单点故障至关重要。然而，现有关于基于区块链的协作式网络安全的文献较为有限，缺乏全面洞察。本文通过综述2016年至2023年间区块链在协作式网络安全中的作用来填补这一空白。它探讨了区块链技术的各种应用、趋势及其演进，重点关注访问控制、数据验证策略、底层技术及共识机制。一个关键发现是该领域较为分散，尚无主导性研究团队或学术平台。近期许多项目为其区块链选择了不恰当的共识协议。为帮助研究人员和从业者，本文提供了针对特定目的选择合适区块链的指南，并指出了开放的研究方向及过去区块链应用在协作式网络安全中的经验教训，鼓励在该领域进行进一步探索。
