Subject: Re: [cti-taxii] RE: Vision Statement for TAXII


Looks like it was written by a Mad Men copy writer. Does it say anything?

All,

 

The statement Bret shared below is intended to be the kind of statement that we can make future decisions around. When a contentious issue comes up, one factor will be how well various options match the vision statement.

 

When people write articles about TAXII, they are going to use our vision statement – this is our opportunity to get the first word into many TAXII discussions. Having a good vision statement is important.

 

For comparison, the equivalent text for TAXII 1.0 and TAXII 1.1 was:

TAXII defines a set of services and message exchanges that, when implemented, enable sharing of actionable cyber threat information across organization and product/service boundaries. TAXII defines services, protocols and messages to exchange cyber threat information for the detection, prevention, and mitigation of cyber threats. TAXII is not an information sharing initiative or application and does not attempt to define trust agreements, governance, or non-technical aspects of cyber threat information sharing. Instead, TAXII empowers organizations to achieve improved situational awareness about emerging threats, and enables organizations to easily share the information they choose with the partners they choose all while using a single, common, set of tools.

 

What do you think? Should we keep the old one? Is the new one better? Would you like to offer a different proposal for consideration?

 

In an effort to cajole responses out of this subcommittee: I’ll offer to take your silence as complete support of the proposed vision statement and that you have nothing but effusive praise for it. (I’m kidding – but please share your thoughts!).

 

Let the SC know what you think!

 

Thank you.

-Mark

Subject: [cti-taxii] Vision Statement for TAXII

 

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
