The Open Security Controller Project is an open source project of The Linux Foundation. The mission of the project is to support the collaboration of development of software to centralize security services orchestration for multi-cloud environments. The Open Security Controller (OSC) code base:

• is a software-defined security orchestration solution that automates deployment of virtualized network security functions, like next-generation firewall, intrusion prevention systems and application delivery controllers;
• enables East-West data center security, is scalable and reduces threats in software defined network environments;
• simplifies and automates security management and compliance; and
• because it is open, offers organizations the flexibility to choose the security technology that is best suited to their needs.
