STIX Version 2.1 from CTI TC approved as a Committee Specification

OASIS Members and other interested parties,

OASIS is pleased to announce that STIX Version 2.1 from the OASIS Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) TC [1] has been approved as an OASIS Committee Specification.

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.

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.

This Committee Specification is an OASIS deliverable, completed and approved by the TC and fully ready for testing and implementation.

The prose specifications and related files are available here:
