RSA 2023 USA Teaser - April 2023

Jason Keirstead, a Distinguished Engineer with IBM and the CTO of Threat Management, discusses the importance of the Open Cybersecurity Alliance (OCA) in addressing the problem of interoperability in cybersecurity. He explains that the lack of common ways to integrate cybersecurity products has led to inefficiencies and high costs for vendors and consumers. The OCA aims to improve interoperability, reduce friction, and lower integration costs by promoting open collaboration and sharing of source code. JK emphasizes the need for collective defense and collaboration in the industry to effectively counter threat actors. He also mentions the upcoming OCA breakfast event at RSA 2023 USA, where new initiatives related to XDR and application security will be announced.
