Abstract: Understanding that interoperable security playbooks will become a fundamental component of defenders' arsenal to decrease attack detection and response times, it is time to consider their position in structured sharing efforts. This report documents the process of extending Structured Threat Information eXpression (STIX) version 2.1, using the available extension definition mechanism, to enable sharing security playbooks, including Collaborative Automated Course of Action Operations (CACAO) playbooks.
