What would $5bn buy?

AusCERT 2023 had a few talks that hint towards a focus on "threat intelligence sharing"[1][2] amongst what would seemingly be a combination of government departments and "critical infrastructure" private sector companies (utilities, supply chain, healthcare, ...etc).

Perhaps something along the lines of a modern take on DShield[3] (2000-), RBLs[4] as well as centralised log analysis, etc? The ability to have a central repository of rules such as "File X was created at location Y on host Z and this is highly unusual as files have never before been written to location Y, plus administrators are currently asleep and have not logged into host Z in the past day".
