CACAO Security Playbooks v1.0 from CACAO TC approved as a Committee Specification

CACAO Security Playbooks v1.0 ready for testing and implementation

OASIS is pleased to announce that CACAO Security Playbooks Version 1.0 from the OASIS Collaborative Automated Course of Action Operations (CACAO) for Cyber Security TC [1] has been approved as an OASIS Committee Specification.

To defend against threat actors and their tactics, techniques, and procedures, organizations need to identify, create, document, and test detection, investigation, prevention, mitigation, and remediation steps. These steps, when grouped together, form a cyber security playbook that can be used to protect organizational systems, networks, data, and users.

This specification defines the schema and taxonomy for cybersecurity playbooks and how cybersecurity playbooks can be created, documented, and shared in a structured and standardized way across organizational boundaries and technological solutions.

This Committee Specification is an OASIS deliverable, completed and approved by the TC and fully ready for testing and implementation.
