OCSF addresses the challenges faced by security professionals due to the absence of a common format and data model for logs and alerts across vendors. This often leads to manual work and inefficiencies in analyzing and interpreting data. With OCSF, SentinelOne is revolutionizing the security analyst experience by enabling seamless integration and interoperability between different security tools and platforms.
SentinelOne's commitment to OCSF is evident in its adoption of the framework into its Security AI platform. The Singularity Platform, powered by Singularity Data Lake, offers a unified security AI solution that brings together a single agent, data lake, and console for security operations. With the Singularity Marketplace, customers can easily access data connectors that transform third-party data sources into OCSF standards, eliminating the need for manual coding or extensive development.
Streamlining Cybersecurity Data with OCSF: A Proactive Defense and Reactive Response

The OCSF framework focuses on both proactive defense and reactive response to cyber threats. It combines open systems for flexibility with closed systems for confidentiality and integrity, allowing enterprises to quickly adapt to evolving threats while maintaining a balance between protection and business needs.

Without OCSF, security teams often spend significant time manually compiling and standardizing data from multiple sources. This manual work hinders their ability to gain meaningful insights and respond effectively to threats. OCSF's standardization significantly reduces the time and effort required to standardize security telemetry and log activity across tools and services, regardless of the vendor.
By adopting OCSF open standards, organizations can ensure data portability and future-proof their security tooling. The common data language provided by OCSF gives businesses the confidence to add new security data sources to the Singularity Platform, making it the central hub for security operations and enabling future innovation.
Enhancing Efficiency and Effectiveness: The Benefits of OCSF for Security Analysts
The adoption of OCSF by SentinelOne brings significant benefits to security analysts, empowering them to focus on protecting the enterprise and staying ahead of evolving threats. By leveraging OCSF, the efficiency and effectiveness of the analyst experience are greatly enhanced.
OCSF drastically reduces data processing time and normalizes data from the beginning, enabling security analysts to quickly analyze and respond to threats. It ensures comprehensive coverage by standardizing cybersecurity data, preventing important information from being overlooked or misinterpreted.
Furthermore, OCSF provides a scalable approach to data management, allowing security systems to evolve without losing the ability to communicate effectively. This scalability enables smarter team allocation, as OCSF eliminates the need for specialized training in vendor-specific language normalization efforts.
Real-World Application: OCSF and Custom Detections in the Singularity Platform
One real-world scenario where OCSF streamlines data sources is in the creation of custom detections. In the Singularity Platform, custom detections are known as STAR rules (Storyline Active Response). These rules allow security teams to create alerts by querying data ingested into the Singularity Data Lake. With OCSF, security teams can write one STAR rule that covers multiple data sources, simplifying the detection process and ensuring alerts are effective across all sources.
Testimonial: The Time-Saving Benefits of OCSF for Liberty Group
Liberty Group, a prominent organization, has experienced the time-saving benefits of OCSF in their security operations. Before adopting SentinelOne, their team spent significant time analyzing data across multiple systems due to the technical challenges of integrating views. However, with OCSF-ready data connectors, Liberty Group's team can now focus on detection, triage, investigation, and response, rather than data architecture.
Conclusion: Future-Proofing Security Strategies with OCSF
The Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF) is a game-changer in the cybersecurity landscape. By standardizing and streamlining cybersecurity data, OCSF enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of security operations. SentinelOne's commitment to OCSF brings significant benefits to security analysts, enabling them to focus on protecting the enterprise and staying ahead of evolving threats. With OCSF, organizations can future-proof their security strategies and build a robust defense against cyber threats.
