After 6 years and multiple versions and Ballots the final stable STIX2.1 has been released. It will now be eligible for consideration as a standard under the auspices of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) among other global bodies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Structured Threat Information Expression (STIX) is a language and serialization format used to exchange cyber threat intelligence. STIX enables organizations and tools to share threat intelligence with one another in a way that improves many different capabilities, such as collaborative threat analysis, automated threat exchange, automated detection and response, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
STIX v2.1 adds new objects and concepts and incorporates improvements based on experience implementing Version 2.0. The objects and features added for inclusion represent an iterative approach to fulfilling basic consumer and producer requirements for CTI sharing. Objects and properties not included in this version of STIX, but deemed necessary by the community, will be included in future releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
