Which open standard creates a framework for sharing threat intelligence in a machine-digestible format?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

STIX (Structured Threat Information eXpression) is the open standard that creates a framework for sharing threat intelligence in a machine-digestible format. STIX enables organizations to share a broad range of cyber threat intelligence information, including data on adversaries, malware, vulnerabilities, and attack patterns. This allows for consistent and structured communication of threat information across different tools and systems, enhancing the ability to detect, analyze, and respond to cyber threats effectively.

D. STIX (Structured Threat Information eXpression) is an open standard that creates a framework for sharing threat intelligence in a machine-digestible format. It enables organizations to share cyber threat intelligence, including information on adversaries, malware, vulnerabilities, and attack patterns, in a structured and consistent way. OpenIOC (Open Indicator of Compromise) is an open-source framework for representing threat intelligence in a machine-readable format. It is used to describe the characteristics of malware, intrusion attempts, and other malicious activity in a way that can be easily understood and acted upon by security systems and tools.

I first thought it was STIX (which is also open source) but some sites mentions the following : "OpenIOC is an open framework, meant for sharing threat intelligence information in a machine-readable format."

STIX, as it is the open standard that provides a framework for sharing threat intelligence, including indicators of compromise, in a machine-readable format. While OpenIOC is also an open standard for sharing threat intelligence, it is more narrowly focused on describing IOCs specifically, and does not provide a comprehensive framework for sharing all types of threat intelligence.

As per the official cert guide, definition is clear : Open Indicators of Compromise (OpenIOC): An open framework for sharing threat intelligence in a machine-digestible format. Structured Threat Information eXpression (STIX): An express language designed for sharing of cyber-attack information. STIX details can contain data such as the IP addresses or domain names of command-and-control servers (often referred to C2 or CnC), malware hashes, and so on. STIX was originally developed by MITRE and is now maintained by OASIS.

My answer is D Which open standard creates a framework for sharing threat intelligence in a machine-digestible format? OpenIOC, OpenC2, CybOX, STIX The open standard that creates a framework for sharing threat intelligence in a machine-digestible format is STIX (Structured Threat Information eXpression). STIX is a JSON-based schema that defines a common format for representing and sharing threat intelligence information. This includes information about adversaries, malware, vulnerabilities, intrusions, and other cyberthreats. STIX is designed to be machine-readable, so that it can be easily shared and processed by computers. This makes it a valuable tool for organizations that need to share threat intelligence with each other to protect their networks. https://bard.google.com/chat/e3b8e30fe3160083

Both XML (openioc) and JSON (stix) are machine readable formates. Plus, both openioc and stix seem to be frameworks. Which one is correct then?

STIX (Structured Threat Information Expression) is an open standard that provides a framework for sharing cyber threat intelligence in a structured, machine-readable format. It enables organizations to share detailed information about threats, including indicators, tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), to improve collective cybersecurity. Other options: A. OpenIOC: A framework for sharing threat indicators but less comprehensive than STIX and not as widely adopted.
