A Foundation For

Evidence Based Security

Welcome to the Capability Exchange - an open platform designed to facilitate connection, communication, and collaboration between security vendors and consumers in the cyber security market. Empowering vendors to demonstrate the capabilities of their security solutions in quantifiable terms, focusing on how these solutions
address threats faced by consumers.

The goal of the Capability Exchange is to empower consumers with a clear quantifiable understanding of what security solutions do, enabling them to make informed decisions that best serve their cyber security needs. It's more than just a marketplace; it's an interactive platform that bridges the gap between security vendors and customers.

So What?

As a vendor by participating in the Capability Exchange, you tap into marketplace backed by over $1B in cyber security buying power. You gain access to advanced tools for deep-dive mapping of your products against frameworks such as NIST, MTIRE ATT&CK, PBOM and the Cyber Defense Matrix facilitating an unmatched showcase of your solutions, both privately empowering sales engagements and optionally publicly on the exchange.
