Security and compliance management firm Tripwire joined the Council on CyberSecurity as a founding member. The group’s advisory board includes Google Chief Internet Evangelist Vint Cerf and Kaspersky Lab CEO Eugene Kaspersky. Tripwire said it believes it will be able to “support and amplify the council’s efforts to accelerate the widespread availability and adoption of effective cybersecurity measures, practice and policy.” Tripwire and the council “have a shared vision of a widely adopted framework of security controls and practices that allow business and technical executives to understand and quantify cybersecurity risks with the same level of clarity used for other types of business risk,” said CEO Jim Johnson in the company’s news release Thursday (http://bit.ly/1iQMHgK).
