… That has led to numerous project engagements with our members as well as product-development efforts. Our focus is primarily advanced analytics and cybersecurity, and we’ve done that. The beginning, we really wanted to establish multiple collaborations where the various practitioners from the companies could get together, share ideas and best practices around topics of interest in strategic areas of IT. He talked with Columbus CEO about the Collaboratory’s progress and future opportunities.Ī: What you’re seeing now is we’re starting to enter the next phase, where we’re competing the cycle. … I think the bigger news is we’re expanding commercially as well,” Wald said. “We have the same seven (founders) but we are in the process of expanding the company. TruSTAR's offices are located in San Francisco, California and McLean, Virginia.Phase one of the Columbus Collaboratory was to help seven non-competing major employers in central Ohio address common data and tech issues, but where the unique company goes from here is wide open, CEO Matt Wald says. The company is led by Co-Founders Paul Kurtz, former White House cybersecurity advisor and private sector security executive Patrick Coughlin, former security operator turned tech entrepreneur and Dave Cullinane, former CISO of eBay. The TruSTAR team is led by a seasoned team of domain specialists in intelligence sharing, cyber security, and product development. TruSTAR's vetted network includes elite enterprise cyber security teams from across sectors and around the world. As companies see data relevant to them they can easily submit, sanitize, and share data to discover how cyber incidents relate to other companies. TruSTAR is the first security intelligence exchange platform built to incentivize information sharing among enterprises. "We are pleased to join forces with TruSTAR, a clear leader in the exchange of threat intelligence." "Combining TruSTAR's innovative platform with the intelligence of our seven collaborating companies, our own analytical capabilities and intelligence originating outside the Columbus region, ultimately improves security analyst efficiency by placing enriched information at their fingertips and improving overall situational awareness," said Columbus Collaboratory VP and Chief Cybersecurity Innovator Jeff Schmidt. This cross-sector Collaboratory will arm network defenders with the information they need to rapidly defend their enterprise networks during uncertain times." "Joining forces with Columbus Collaboratory is a significant inflection point for the threat intelligence market as it stands today. Being proactive about cybersecurity means establishing threat intelligence exchanges that leverage the power of human partnership while accelerating threat detection and resolution in the event of a breach," said Paul Kurtz, co-founder and CEO of TruSTAR Technology. "Companies can't afford to battle adversaries in an increasingly complex cybersecurity environment, alone or in silos. The partnership advances the Collaboratory's operating philosophy of collaborative security. The Collaboratory will make its enriched intelligence available to TruSTAR's network of defenders who also access and contribute to TruSTAR's broader network. TruSTAR will provide the Collaboratory's seven founding companies the ability to share enriched threat intelligence via TruSTAR 'Enclaves' to elevate the group's overall security posture. "As we expand capabilities and grow our base of collaborating companies, the TruSTAR platform allows us to extend the benefits of our intelligent ISAO to Central Ohio companies and beyond." "Our unique collaborative model and advanced analytics capabilities have made our operational ISAO and TruSTAR partnership possible," said Matt Wald, President and CEO. The TruSTAR platform will support the Collaboratory's ISAO (Information Sharing and Analysis Organization, Executive Order 13691), forming Ohio's first ISAO producing analytics-enhanced intelligence products and supporting intelligence exchange in real time. COLUMBUS, OH -(Marketwired - May 23, 2017) - Columbus Collaboratory, an advanced analytics and cybersecurity company founded by seven leading Ohio corporations across multiple industries, today announced a strategic partnership with TruSTAR, the first security intelligence exchange platform addressing the practical inhibitors to effective information sharing.
