STIX/TAXII for threat intelligence

What is STIX/TAXII?

STIX stands for Structured Threat Information Expression, which is an open-source language and serialization format used in sharing threat intelligence. Think of it as the vehicle for containing the threat information. Threat intelligence is communicated as objects and is detailed or as brief as the creator would like. TAXII stands for Trusted Automated Exchange of Indicator Information and is an application protocol that uses HTTPS/HTTP to enable communication. Think of this as the highway for STIX to travel on.
