Collaborate Disseminate
At a Borderless Cyber event today, 18 cybersecurity vendors threw their weight behind a cybersecurity interoperability initiative being led by OASIS, an industry consortium that lately has taken the lead on several cybersecurity initiatives. Based on … Continue reading OASIS to Lead Cybersecurity Interoperability Initiative
Security experts, vendors, business and the NSA are developing a standardized language that rather than autonomously understands threats, acts on them. Continue reading NSA-Backed OpenC2.org Aims to Defend Systems at Machine Speed
Led by the NSA, a group of cybersecurity experts and vendors has been busy behind the scenes for more than a year, developing an open, standardized computer language for the command and control of cyber-defenses — OpenC2. The idea of OpenC2 is to let different elements of cyber-defense technology communicate at machine speed — regardless of whether or not they are made by the same vendor and no matter which programming language they use. Cyber-defenders “have to have an automated machine response,” to outpace the attacker, said NSA official Joe Brule, the original convener of the OpenC2 process. “We’re going to have to have standardized interfaces” to allow security tools from different vendors to talk to each other, he told the Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit on Tuesday. The use of standardized interfaces and protocols enables interoperability of different tools, regardless of the vendor that developed them, the language they are written in or […]
