Overview
Today, organizations that share cyber threat intelligence are confronted by multiple schemas and a plethora of nonstandardized and ambiguous vocabularies. These limit an organization's ability to strategically correlate and analyze attack data, which could lead to a better understanding of their adversary's goals, capabilities, and trends in targeting and techniques.
The TAC TC seeks to resolve ambiguity across different sources and solutions to support organizing what is known and sharing information about threat actors. The TC will establish a common knowledge framework that enables semantic interoperability of threat actor contextual information and develop standardized vocabularies for threat actor characterization.
For more information, see the Threat Actor Context (TAC) TC Charter.
