Launched in 2012, OTX is modeled on social sharing technologies and allows security practitioners from around the world to openly research, discuss and collaborate on emerging threats. With the addition of private groups, we are providing another innovative tool for distributing threat information to those who need it to protect critical systems.” We are seeing this trend across industries and around the world, as more and more people realize that collaborative defense is the only way to get ahead of the attackers. “Time and again, security professionals are discovering that by working together and pooling their threat data and expertise, they are able to better identify and respond more quickly to attacks. “We are proud to have pioneered open threat intelligence sharing through our Open Threat Exchange,” said Jim Hansen, vice president of product marketing at AlienVault. As part of AlienVault’s commitment to continually innovating and enabling even the smallest IT departments to detect and respond to threats more effectively, a new version of USM, with enhanced capabilities like USB detection, will also be available in early August. OTX data works hand-in-hand with security platforms, such as AlienVault USM, to ensure users have the latest intelligence to identify, respond to and mitigate threats. In addition, managed service providers can use this feature to distribute threat data to their subscribers. This new feature supports the mission of Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISACs) pursuant to Presidential Decision Directive-63 (PDD-63) by providing a platform for information sharing and risk mitigation for specific groups and teams. This capability enables more targeted, in-depth discussion and threat information distribution related to specific industries, particular regions and types of threats. With this release, OTX members can now create private communities and discussion groups, where they can share threat information with only members of the group. AlienVault will demonstrate OTX and AlienVault USM, the company’s comprehensive threat detection and incident response solution, at Black Hat (booth #1016), which will take place August 3-4, 2016 in Las Vegas. – J– AlienVault®, the leading provider of Unified Security Management™ (USM) and crowd-sourced threat intelligence, today announced the latest version of its Open Threat Exchange™ (OTX), the world’s first truly open threat intelligence community that enables collaborative defense with actionable, community-powered threat data.

I believe strongly in protection of intellectual property and I know proprietary code and its protection is also critically important in moving us all forward, but so frequently the open source community is under represented so I want to try hard to make sure they are given a fair shake. I also have a general bias towards open source software. I was an enterprise CTO and now I study them. Another bias is to look at things from a lens of enterprise technology. I hope everything I do is supportive of national security. One key bias comes from years in the US national security community. I’m hoping the things here are of interest and use but please use your own judgment. Since this is a personal blog my most important point regarding bias is that you should evaluate everything written here yourself. Disclaimers and Bias This blog is primarily written by Bob Gourley with a few other guest writers as invited.
