#Alienvault otx taxii feed update

Initial support for the STIX format will be focused on threat indicators through STIX 'Observables' and 'Indicators'. With the release of Security Analytics 10.6.1, RSA will begin providing some initial basic support for the STIX threat intelligence file format. (For additional information about STIX, see Structured Threat Information eXpression). With the emergence of STIX, Structured Threat Information eXpression, threat intelligence providers, application vendors, and users could begin to share and leverage threat intelligence by speaking a common language. You can then deliver this by STIX/TAXII to your devices, or if you are a service provider, to your customers.With the rapid growth in the number threat intelligence providers and services, the need and focus for threat intelligence format standards and protocols became inevitable. With this new capability, you can use the group functionality of OTX to store threat intelligence and privately share it with people you specify. OTX has been around a while as a source of great threat intelligence. This example will fetch the first page of results from the AlienVault user's feed, starting at April 15th, 2017 at midnight UTC. This command can be helpful to make sure that the collection feed is working, but because it dumps all the output in a raw for, the output won't be included here. Taxii-poll is a cabby program that will poll a collection and return all matching results. To see your personal additional collection, pass your OTX API key as the 'username', with anything or nothing as the password. If you do not pass a username, then you will see only public collections. Note that available collections will vary by user, depending on collections you have access to. Taxii-collections is a cabby program that will list the collections that are available to you. Taxii-discovery is a cabby program that will call the taxii discovery endpoint, which tells you what services are available and some of the options they support. If you're running from a locally installed cabby instance, the same command would just be: If you're using Docker, your command line will look something like:

Cabby can be downloaded and installed, or if you have a working Docker installed, you can run it via a Docker container. Here are some examples using a client called cabby. To get an idea of how TAXII works with OTX, you can try it out using any number of available TAXII clients. Please email us at if our implementation isn't working for your client, or if you have any questions or suggestions. For example, some clients will poll for updates every minute, some every hour. How are you using STIX/TAXII?ĭespite a mammoth specification, we found there is little standardisation in the way TAXII client implementations work. You can also maintain feeds within these groups. You can then deliver this by STIX/TAXII to your devices, or if you are a service provider, to your customers. You can use the group functionality of OTX to store threat intelligence and privately share it with people you specify. Password: (Blank) Deliver your own intelligence from OTX to your network and your customers To consume the OTX STIX/TAXII feed you'l need to enter the following details into your TAXII client: OTX can now act as both a provider and a platform in your environment. They might also skip the threat intelligence platform and feed information from the ISAC directly to their security devices. Companies that are members of the ISAC then collect this (and other) information in a threat intelligence platform, then feed this information onto their security devices.

STIX provides a formal way to describe threat intelligence, and TAXII a method to deliver that intelligence.įor example, an Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC) might share information about attacks against an industry via STIX/TAXII. We're happy to announce that Alienvault OTX is now a STIX/TAXII feed/server.

The Open Threat Exchange (OTX) team has been hard at work and we wanted to update everyone on some new functionality that we believe will be very useful to you.
