STIX, Structured Threat Information eXpression, by Mitre

Structured Threat Information eXpression STIX is a collaborative community-driven effort to define and develop a standardized language to represent structured cyber threat information.

from FAQ

C2. What is the relationship between STIX and CybOX?

STIX uses the Cyber Observable eXpression (CybOX™) language to describe cyber Observables. The CybOX schema is natively imported and used within STIX to characterize system and network events, characteristics, and behaviors observed within the operational domain.

C5. What is the relationship between STIX and OpenIOC?

STIX Indicators can convey non-standard Indicator patterns in formats other than CybOX using the Test_Mechanism structure. Each format must be implemented as an extension of the Test_Mechanism extension point. STIX provides a default extension for Mandiant’s Open Indicators of Compromise (OpenIOC) as well as extensions for the Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language (OVAL®), SNORT rules, and YARA rules.
