Topic Abstract: The cybersecurity industry has an ever-growing number of vendors and products, each of which generate an explosion of data & insights. While these tools routinely have integrations amongst one another, there is a lack of industry-wide vendor cooperation on protocols and standards surrounding sharing cybersecurity insight and findings data. As a result, these integrations are often one-off, vendor-specific, expensive to maintain and often lacking the ability to share all available data related to the findings, insights, or incidents. Users are therefore often unable to break down their data silos and extract peak value from their investments, and vendors find themselves torn on where to invest their finite resources when it comes to integrating with partners. The result is incomplete options regarding which technologies can interoperate within their environment. In this talk we will discuss areas in which the industry is actively developing and promoting sets of common code, tooling, patterns, and practices for sharing data among cybersecurity tools, and how this will improve outcomes for all.
