Security:
ArcSight's Raffael Marty Appointed
To MITRE OVAL Board
ArcSight Inc, a leading provider of enterprise security risk management
software, announced that Raffael Marty, CISSP, has been appointed to the OVAL
(Open Vulnerability Assessment Language) Board. Marty joins security veterans
from industry leaders including Cisco Systems, IBM and Symantec, and U.S.
government leaders including the Defense Information Systems Agency, the
National Security Agency and the CERT Coordination Center. Marty's role will
be to provide OVAL a complete, high-level view of network security status,
including issues such as correlation and prioritization of security events, as
security event management continues to emerge as a critical component of
network security.
"Security event management is a key driver of innovation in the security
industry," said Matthew N. Wojcik, senior INFOSEC engineer and OVAL team
editor at MITRE. "OVAL is excited to have Raffael on our board, as he has
demonstrated industry leadership, especially in the field of threat
taxonomy."
OVAL is based on Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures, a dictionary of
standardized names and descriptions for publicly known information security
vulnerabilities and exposures developed by The MITRE Corporation in
cooperation with the international security community. MITRE is a
not-for-profit national resource that provides systems engineering, research
and development, and information technology support to the government. The
OVAL effort was initiated by MITRE, and involves representatives from a broad
spectrum of industry, academia, and government organizations, including
operating system and security tool vendors.
"We're thrilled that Raffael has been asked to participate in MITRE's OVAL
efforts," said Hugh Njemanze, CTO and founder of ArcSight Inc. "We're looking
forward to helping add our security event management innovation to OVAL's
groundbreaking work to date."
