5.1. Open Cybersecurity Alliance

Open Cybersecurity Alliance works on product interoperability, extending the benefits of integration of cybersecurity products from multiple vendors to the cybersecurity community. The OCA develops and promotes sets of common code, patterns, and practices to enable data interchange between cybersecurity tools over a common, standardised messaging bus within the threat management lifecycle. Interoperability at the communications and data levels ensures that critical insights and findings are not missed, and reduces vendor lock-in.
