Why we participate in the OTTF
“CA Technologies is proud to be a founder of The Open Group Trusted Technology Forum. We recognize that the global community in which we operate needs an international, standardsbased program that gives vendors confidence that the technologies in their supply chain are secure and meet the same high standards they hold for themselves. The criteria developed by the OTTF will assist buyers in their due diligence and help speed time-to-market.”
Tim Brown, Chief Security Architect, CA Technologies
“Cisco is privileged to collaborate with the IT community reflected in the OTTF to proactively address global supply-chain security concerns facing us all. The OTTF provides the opportunity to evolve international standards, which may be referenced by existing multi-national certification programs, such as Common Criteria, and used as a meaningful indicator of product assurance. Ultimately, improved standards keep us all accountable and allow the consumer to purchase with confidence.”
Edna Conway, Chief Security Strategist, Global Supply Chain, Cisco
“Microsoft supports The Open Group Trusted Technology Forum goal of publishing practices that ultimately help protect end users. Our experience applying the Security Development Lifecycle to numerous Microsoft products over a period of six years has demonstrated that targeted security activities executed throughout the phases of the traditional software development life cycle and as part of a repeatable process result in security gains.”
Steve Lipner, Senior Director, Microsoft Trustworthy Computing
“MITRE is pleased to be participating in The Open Group Trusted Technology Forum as it strives to improve the security posture of information technology coming from industry. Their focus on the supply chain and industry development practices, international membership, and vendor-neutral perspective offers a promising complement to other activities in the community. We look forward to working with the Forum to make progress in this critical area.”
