OCSF (Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework)
The vendor-neutral event schema that won the schema war. Concord by IaxaI sits above OCSF, not parallel to it.
Definition
OCSF is the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework, an open vendor-neutral standard for representing security events. It defines event categories, classes, and field names so that an alert from CrowdStrike, an event from Okta, and a log from Splunk can be expressed in one canonical shape. By 2026 every credible security platform ships an OCSF pipe. Schema standardization is not a moat anymore. Concord by IaxaI treats OCSF as table stakes and builds the apparatus around it that OCSF itself doesn't provide: calibrated probability on every field mapping decision, deterministic vendor packs that keep machine learning out of the hot path, drift detection on the silent vendor schema changes that break OCSF compliance after the fact, and a signed audit trail so every mapping decision is replayable. The Concord position is above OCSF, not parallel. Translation is the floor, not the product.
