Re: [cti-taxii] Vision Statement for TAXII

cti-taxii message

The first sentence looks good to me, but I'm undecided about the second. Maybe the first sentence is enough?

"TAXII is a threat sharing technology that enables rapid, secure, and trusted communications between people and systems through simple, powerful, and reusable concepts."

I prefer it over the earlier TAXII version paragraph as it is more of a vision statement, and less of a prescriptive description. It provides loose guidance outlining the basic premise of TAXII without forcing it into a box.

Team,

During our last call we had a good conversation about the need to establish some top level elements for this subcommittee, these include things like vision, scope, and purpose. We would like to propose the following vision/purpose statement for your review.

"TAXII is a threat sharing technology that enables rapid, secure, and trusted communications between people and systems through simple, powerful, and reusable concepts. TAXII users have faster response times, better ROI, and more effective cyber defenses."

Thanks,

Bret
