Sponsor Testimonial
Collective defense is a powerful security strategy that we need to leverage to fend off the bad guys. At Cyware, our vision is to achieve collective defense for all organizations which will be further strengthened with Cyware joining the OCA. We are really excited to be part of the OCA initiative and look forward to fostering the culture of collaboration at all the possible levels for effective threat response.
The Center for Internet Security (CIS) joined the Open Cybersecurity Alliance (OCA), because we have common missions – to improve the efficacy of cybersecurity programs. Each organization plays a vital role in achieving this. CIS produces a variety of authoritative, community-developed security best practices (CIS Critical Security Controls and CIS Benchmarks), which are designed to be incorporated into interoperable software components. The OCA seeks to enable that interoperability with interface and payload definitions accompanied by running code. Together, we are helping organizations – both in the public and private sector – to better protect their customers and their own reputations.
