OASIS members and other interested parties,
OASIS is pleased to announce the availability of a new Committee Specification from the members of the Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) TC:
TAXII Version 1.1.1
Committee Specification 01
05 May 2016
What is TAXII and why is it important?
The Trusted Automated eXchange of Indicator Information (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 Version 1.1.1 defines concepts, 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.
About the TC:
The OASIS Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) TC is developing information representations and protocols to help industries, organizations, and governments model, analyze, and share cyber threat intelligence.
The TC has transitioned STIX (Structured Threat Information _expression_), TAXII (Trusted Automated Exchange of Indicator Information), and CybOX (Cyber Observable _expression_) from the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for standardization under the OASIS open standards process. STIX Version 1.2.1 is the first of these to be released as an OASIS Committee Specification.
Members of the TC are currently working on the next generation of these specifications.
STIX, TAXII, and CybOX recently received the European Identity Conference (EIC) 2016 Award for Best Innovation/New Standard in Information Security.
