ARLINGTON, Va., Aug. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- CyberSponse, Inc., an aggressive and disruptive leader in Security Orchestration Automation and Response is proud to unveil the CyberSponse Community Edition.

In an effort to truly cultivate a community of incident response best practices and perpetuate an understanding of the power of automation and orchestration capabilities, CyberSponse is offering the cybersecurity industry an opportunity to use and explore the CyberSponse Enterprise SOAR Platform for 45 days, absolutely free! This period has no restricted features whatsoever. This means Unlimited Playbooks, Unlimited Actions, and Unlimited Users!

After 45 days, CyberSponse offers three (3) options to the CyOps Community:

Continue to use the Enterprise platform for free in exchange for contributing playbooks, connectors for security products, product feedback and mentorship for other security operation teams back to the CyOps and Incident Response Community; or
Convert to the use of CyOps Limited Version for free, which allows access to all features of the Enterprise Platform, but limits the number of playbooks executed per day, as well as a maximum of individual unique users of the platform; or
Purchase a Commercial User-Based Enterprise license for CyOps that provides unlimited playbooks and a pre-defined number of users to the platform i.e. User Based Pricing.

With Option 1, CyberSponse, unlike any other vendor, is building the first REAL security operations Community for the cybersecurity industry; a true barter-based trading network for collaborating and innovating the entire incident response process and security operational plans.

With Option 2, CyberSponse understands that some community members can't afford a commercial license and also cannot share their playbooks or connectors due to security reasons. In some cases, strategic exceptions will be made for community members that need help where it matters the most. CyberSponse would rather have a future member embrace our enterprise SOAR platform than see their security posture decrease.

With Option 3, CyberSponse offers customers very competitive and disruptive pricing for our technology. Built on aggressive innovation and grit, pricing never gets in the way of creating loyal, happy and trusting customer relationships.

"The CyberSponse Community Edition is an aggressive and innovative competitor in the SOAR market, truly seeking to develop an open sharing community for incident responders as we aim to open source all our playbooks," stated Larry Johnson, CEO of CyberSponse. "Unlike other community editions of SOAR products, CyberSponse is seeking a disruptive approach of open sourcing playbooks aiming to truly enable the development of a real community and the availability of resources to those on the bleeding edge of the cybersecurity battlefield."

With this Community Edition announcement, CyberSponse is also honored to highlight its partnership with the Incident Response Consortium (IRC), IncidentResponse.com, and the upcoming free-to-attend, war-gaming training based on next-generation Security Operations. The IRC's annual conference, IR18, will be held on September 5-6, 2018 in Arlington, VA. Partnering with the IRC, CyberSponse is dedicated to bringing autonomy and simplified security operations to the marketplace with open sourcing its playbooks and allowing the enhancement of working with other SOAR vendors on an open source standard.

"For too long cybersecurity operations and incident response remediation have been plagued with repetitive tasks, homegrown scripts, and unknown or undocumented processes. The time for disrupting and changing this painful experience has finally come," said Joseph Loomis, Founder & CTO of CyberSponse. "We look forward to standardizing and open sourcing our playbooks to accelerate the means for security teams to move faster without being restrained with product politics."
