ISC2 and Linux Foundation: Enterprise Secure Software Development Solutions

Empowering a Secure Future with Linux Foundation

Introducing a groundbreaking partnership where ISC2 and the Linux Foundation, together with Linux’s Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF), combine resources to fortify the open-source cybersecurity landscape. As global leaders in cybersecurity training and open-source software development, the collaboration will transform the security of enterprise software development and lifecycle management for open-source code worldwide.

A New Era of Cybersecurity Training and Certification

In the face of rapidly evolving cyberthreats, the need for robust, secure software has never been more critical. Recognizing this, our partnership aims to integrate the deep cybersecurity expertise of ISC2 with the Linux Foundation’s expertise in open-source software development. This synergy enhances existing programs and introduces new initiatives designed to embed strong cybersecurity practices at the heart of enterprise software development.

Joint Initiatives Include

Roles-Based Learning Programs: Focused on developing secure microservices, these new programs include specialized courses, certifications and practical labs tailored to modern cybersecurity needs.
Regulatory and Best Practice Guidance: An authoritative source for cybersecurity regulations and secure software development practices.
Research and Tools: Groundbreaking research tools that track and analyze the effectiveness of cybersecurity measures.

Security Across the SDLC

Open-source code drives innovation across countless industries, used by an estimated 90 percent of commercial organizations. However, with great power comes great responsibility. Our collaboration addresses the critical need for security throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC), ensuring that all developers, regardless of their background, have the knowledge and tools necessary to create secure, resilient software.
