The Open Group hosts a variety of Forums, Work Groups and projects that address various aspects of the challenge of security.
- The Security Forum focuses on Security Architecture and Information Security Management. The forum produces technical standards, guides, best practices, and other deliverables aimed at customer practitioners and vendors.
