Threat Entities

The Threat Entities module provides structured records used to manage threat intelligence objects in the TISC. These records align with STIX domain object concepts and help standardize how threat activity is documented and analyzed.

Use this module to create and manage entities such as:

• Attack Patterns to document adversary tactics and techniques.
• Campaigns to track coordinated threat activity over time.
• Courses of Action to define recommended remediation steps.
• Identities to represent individuals, groups, or organizations.
• Infrastructure to record systems and services used in operations.
• Intrusion Sets to group related threat activity.
• Malware and Malware Analysis records for malicious tools and findings.
• Threat Actors to represent adversaries.
• Threat Events, Threat Reports, Threat Notes, and Threat Opinion to capture contextual intelligence.
• Marking Definitions to apply data handling classifications.

• Attack Patterns
  Attack patterns are a type of Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) that describe the methods that adversaries attempt to compromise targets.
• Campaign
  Campaign is defined as grouping of adversarial behaviors that describes a set of malicious activities or attacks, sometimes called waves that occur over a period of time against a specific set of targets.
• Courses of Action
  Courses of action is an action taken either to prevent an attack or to respond to an attack that is in progress.
• Identity
  Identities represent actual individuals, organizations or groups, and classes of individuals, systems, or groups. Identities apply for STIX 2.x.
• Infrastructure
  The Infrastructure SDO represents a type of Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs). They describe any systems, software services, and any associated physical or virtual resources intended to support some purpose of an attack. Infrastructure applies for STIX 2.x.
• Intrusion Set
  An Intrusion Set is a grouped set of adversarial behaviors and resources with common properties. An Intrusion Set usually involves a single organization. Intrusion set applies for STIX 2.x.
• Location
  A Location represents a geographic location. Locations are primarily used to give context to other SDOs. Locations apply for STIX 2.x.
• Malware
  Malware is a type of TTP that represents malicious code. It refers to a program that is covertly inserted into a system. Malware applies for STIX 2.x.
• Malware Analysis
  Malware Analysis captures the metadata and results of a malware. Malware analysis applies for STIX 2.x.
• Marking Definition
  The marking-definition object represents a specific marking. Data markings typically represent handling or sharing requirements for data.
• Object Sighting
  Sightings denote that an object was seen. Objects may be a malware, tool, threat actor, and so on.
• Observed Data
  Observed Data conveys information about cyber security-related entities such as files, systems, and networks using the STIX Cyber-observable Objects (SCOs). Observed data applies for STIX 2.x.
• Threat Actor
  Threat Actors are individuals, groups, or organizations who act with malicious intent. Threat actors applies for STIX 2.x.
• Threat Event
  An event or situation that has the potential for causing undesirable consequences or impact.
• Threat Grouping
  A Threat Groupings object explicitly asserts that the referenced STIX Objects have a shared context. Threat groupings applies for STIX 2.x.
• Threat Note
  A Threat Note conveys informative text to provide additional analysis not contained in the STIX Objects, Marking Definition objects, or Language Content objects which the Note relates to. Threat notes applies for STIX 2.x.
• Threat Opinion
  An Opinion is an assessment of the accuracy of the information in a STIX Object produced by a different entity. Threat opinions apply for STIX 2.x.
• Threat Report
  Threat Reports are collections of threat intelligence focused on one or more topics. Threat reports apply for STIX 2.x.
• Tools
  Tools are legitimate software that are used by threat actors to perform attacks. Tools apply for STIX 2.x.
