The Open Standatds Everywhere : Overview

Do you believe that your security depends on Open Standards?

According to Cisco, the number of connected devices worldwide will rise to 50 billion or more by 2021. Due to this growth of devices, new solutions, and IT services, we will face potential new security issues. Security is both the key to the success or failure, of the interconnected internet. The key to a successful and secure system is using open standards. It allowing public inspection of code and the contribution of patches is the best way to ensure security devices, systems, and solutions.




The Open Standards Everywhere (OSE) training conducted by ISOC provided me with insights into future web security. 

As I learned it would be everyone's responsibility to guarantee open, globally-connected, trustworthy, and secure internet for everyone.

Therefore making your web server as secure as possible and ensuring its availability across the global network of networks is a challenging task.

The latest open and most secure standards introduced by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) are geared for this task. 

ISOC initiated series training of programs through its chapters to build awareness among web server administrators to support the latest security standards and protocols, value in new open Internet standards and also understand how to deploy those standards.

The objective of the ISOC 2020 action plan is to increase security and availability of web servers by promoting the latest IETF standards and new protocols that can help promote to build a bigger, stronger Internet.

This training provided information on IPV6 which increases connectivity and security of web servers as well as billions of IoT devices that would be connected to the internet.

HTTP/2 provides faster connections that work better for low bandwidth, mobile that is secure and trustworthy. 

Another important cryptographic protocol is  Transport Layer Security (TLS), the successor to SSL. It is designed to provide increased communications security over a computer network to ensure privacy and data integrity between two or more communicating computer applications.


DNSSEC increases security in DNS systems and prevents attackers from poisoning the responses to DNS requests. 

Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is a web security policy mechanism that helps to protect websites against man-in-the-middle attacks. 

These new standards help increase openness, Interoperability, and security of the web.
