Outbound Cyberspace Defense (OCD)
Is defending yourself within your digital perimeter enough?
Should cybersecurity look beyond its traditional walls to anticipate threats? What ethical and legal implications would this entail?
Threats no longer wait at the door; they brew in the least visible corners of cyberspace, beyond your direct control. Anticipation is the key that makes the difference.
In this context, S2GRUPO presents an analysis of a trend in cybersecurity, Outbound Cyberspace Defense (OCD). An approach that proposes extending surveillance and response capabilities beyond the traditional perimeter. Observe the adversary before they act and understand the terrain where threats move.
Far from proposing it as a specific practice, the aim is to provide a knowledge base for discussing the technical, strategic and regulatory implications of this type of approach, as well as its posiible fit within existing cybersecurity frameworks.
Led by Antonio Villalón, Security Director at S2GRUPO, this document delves into the technical, strategic and regulatory implications of this new frontier in digital defence.
Should we adopt this new form of cybersecurity? What are the ethical and legal implications of OCD?
