Indicators of Behavior (IoB) - Feb 2023
In this podcast episode, Charles Frick, a Chief Scientist at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, discusses the Indicators of Behavior (IOB) subproject under the Open Cybersecurity Alliance. He explains the need for open standards to represent cyber adversary behaviors, aiming to share detections with longer shelf lives than current Indicators of Compromise (IOCs). Charles also emphasizes the importance of automation in cybersecurity to keep pace with adversaries and calls for community involvement to improve reference implementations, partner with other initiatives, and contribute to the project's GitHub repository. He invites feedback, collaboration, and volunteer efforts to advance the project's goals.

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.
