Tech, Cyber Companies Launch Security Standard to Monitor Hacking Attempts

Amazon com Inc.’s AWS cloud business, cybersecurity company Splunk and International Business Machines Corp.’s security unit, among others, launched the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework, or OCSF, Wednesday at the Black Hat USA cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas. Products and services that support the OCSF specifications would be able to collate and standardize alerts from different cyber monitoring tools, network loggers and other software, to simplify and speed up the interpretation of that data, said Patrick Coughlin, Splunk’s group vice president of the security market.
