Verizon releases framework used for data breach investigations reports
The incident-sharing framework will provide enterprises with a common structure for describing and analyzing security incidents InformationWeek News Network, March 04, 2010

Verizon Business is publicly releasing the research framework used for the company’s Data Breach Investigations Reports. The Verizon Incident-Sharing (VerIS) framework addresses a critical industry-wide issue—the lack of a common standard for the collection of security-incident data and analysis.
 
The incident-sharing framework will provide enterprises with a common structure for describing and analyzing security incidents. As a result, businesses will be able to compare and contrast their security data with Verizon’s data breach reports, as well as with data of other organizations that use the VerIS framework.
 
“Since we began issuing the Data Breach Investigations Report, our customers and the security community at large have told us of their need for an open-source security-incident sharing program that will provide a universal foundation for data collection and analysis,” said Peter Tippett, VP of Security and Enterprise Innovation at Verizon Business. “With the public release of VerIS, Verizon is answering this call by enabling organizations to work together in the ongoing fight against cybercrime.”
