I have questions about the proposed Heimdall Data Format (HDF) TC. From what I can tell, Heimdall Data Format is a data format used in an open source project ( Heimdall ) from MITRE. This project is a way to view the outputs from InSpec, which is a different project from Chef/Progress around CICD pipeline security. https://github.com/mitre/ heimdall 2 https://github.com/inspec/inspec A core question I have related to this TC is, who else is going to be the downstream consumer of the Heimdall data format outside this project? Is Heimdall is the ONLY project likely to ever use this? If so, then what is the value of it becoming standardized? Would a better idea be to move Heimdall itself to be an OASIS open project, that would make a lot more sense to me at first blush. - Jason Keirstead Distinguished Engineer, CTO - IBM Security Threat Management www.ibm.com/security Assistant - Mauricio Durán Cambronero (mauduran@ibm.com) Co-Chair - Open Cybersecurity Alliance, Project Governing Board www.opencybersecurityalliance.org
