Prophecy International, a software distributor with products in the cybersecurity and business intelligence markets, has joined the Open Cybersecurity Alliance (OCA).
An OASIS Open Project, OCA is a global community founded by IBM and McAfee with the mission to build an open ecosystem where cybersecurity products interoperate without the need for customised integrations, simplifying integration across the threat lifecycle.
Prophecy joins these organisations committed to solving the costly problem of siloed cyber tools and products: IBM, McAfee, Centre for Internet Security, Copado, Cydarm, Cyware, EclecticIQ, F5 Networks, Rapid7, SafeBreach, sFractal Consulting, Tenable, Tenzir, ThreatQuotient, Visua, VMware, Cyberreason, and SAIC.
“Our decision to join the OCA goes hand-in-hand with our mission to improve our customers’ cyber posture worldwide and ensure that our products support the growth and evolution of the global cybersecurity community,” says Prophecy International CEO and OCA Project Governing Board Member Brad Thomas. “We are excited to be a part of a coalition doing some of the most important work the global cyber community has ever produced. Our participation with OCA will greatly benefit our cyber practices, which will, in turn, benefit our customers across the world.”
“We’re pleased that Prophecy International has joined as a sponsor of the OCA to support improving product interoperability across security tools and teams,” said Chet Ensign, OASIS Chief Technical Community Steward. “A trusted global software distributor, Prophecy joins a growing list of global cybersecurity leaders who are working to create an open cybersecurity ecosystem. We welcome Prophecy’s cybersecurity expertise, which will serve to further strengthen the OCA community.”
While several other cybersecurity coalitions focus on sharing threat intelligence and best practices, OCA is the only global coalition that focuses on bringing the benefits of open source code to the security landscape.
The current projects being led by OCA include:
- Kestrel
- STIX Shifter
- Posture Attribute Collection and Evaluation (PACE)
Currently, Prophecy International’s leadership team members are participating with OCA and OCA members on the Zero Trust Architecture and STIX Shifter initiatives. This is a part of the company’s efforts to continuously improve and update its cybersecurity solution Snare to help government, military, and defence agencies and organisations worldwide meet evolving state-mandated cyber requirements.
Snare is a leading centralised log management solution designed and built for military and defence. Snare is adopted globally by government, military, and defence agencies and the global Fortune 2000.
