Security News > 2020 > February > OpenDXL Ontology: An open source language for connecting cybersecurity tools

The Open Cybersecurity Alliance today announced the availability of OpenDXL Ontology, the first open source language for connecting cybersecurity tools through a common messaging framework.

With open source code freely available to the security community, OpenDXL Ontology enables any tool to automatically gain the ability to communicate and interoperate with all other technologies using this language.

The release of the OpenDXL Ontology now offers a single, common language for these notifications, information and actions across security products that any vendor can adopt in order to communicate in a standard way with all other tools under this umbrella.

The Open Cybersecurity Alliance was launched in October 2019 to connect the fragmented cybersecurity landscape with common, open source code and practices that allow companies to "Integrate once, reuse everywhere."

In addition to the development of OpenDXL Ontology for a common, open-source language between tools, the OCA is also continuing to build out capabilities for STIX-Shifter, a universal, out-of-the box search capability for security products of all types.
