Open security group unveils common OpenDXL language

▤ Summary

“The adoption of OpenDXL Ontology will help create a stronger, united front to defend and protect across all types of security tools, while reducing the burden of point integrations between individual products,” said the OCA. The group said hundreds of visitors had already accessed STIX Shifter on Github, with dozens of users branching off on new project forks on top of the primary code. At the same time, the OCA has also announced the formation of a new steering committee, which will bring together leaders from members AT&T, IBM Security, McAfee, Packet Clearinghouse and Tripwire, to drive the technical direction and development of the body. “With the adoption of public cloud and explosion of connected devices, the ability for enterprises to quickly respond to threats across ever-changing technologies, and even beyond perimeters, is critical,” said Brian Rexroad, vice-president of security platforms at AT&T. “OCA is driving an industrial shift in interoperability with the OpenDXL Ontology to support security at scale.” Existing group members, which besides those already named include Advanced Cyber Security Corp, Corsa, CyberArk, Cybereason, DFLabs, EclectiqIQ, Fortinet, Indegy, New Context, ReversingLabs, SafeBreach, Syncurity, Threat Quotient and Tufin, have now also been joined by new members Armis, the Center for Internet Security, CyberNB, Dydarm, Gigamon, Raytheon, Recorded Future and sFractal Consulting.
