Asset Schema

Asset

Assets represent systems, devices, or technologies that adversaries may target within organizational environments. They are defined as x-mitre-asset objects extending the generic STIX Domain Object pattern.

Object containing the following properties:

PropertyDescriptionType
id (*)string
type (*)'x-mitre-asset'
spec_version (*)The version of the STIX specification used to represent this object.'2.1'
created (*)The created property represents the time at which the first version of this object was created. The timstamp value MUST be precise to the nearest millisecond.string (ISO 8601)
modified (*)The modified property represents the time that this particular version of the object was modified. The timstamp value MUST be precise to the nearest millisecond.string (ISO 8601)
created_by_ref (*)string
labelsThe labels property specifies a set of terms used to meta this object.Array<string (_min length: 1_)> (min: 1)
revokedThe revoked property indicates whether the object has been revoked.boolean
confidenceIdentifies the confidence that the creator has in the correctness of their data.number (int, ≥1, ≤99)
langIdentifies the language of the text content in this object.string (min length: 1)
external_references (*)A list of external references with the first containing a valid ATT&CK IDArray of at least 1 objects:
  • source_name (*): string (min length: 1)
  • description: string (min length: 1)
  • url: string (url)
  • external_id: string (min length: 1)
object_marking_refs (*)Array<string (_startsWith: marking-definition--_)>
granular_markingsThe set of granular markings that apply to this object.Array of objects:
  • lang: string (min length: 1) - The lang property identifies the language of the text identified by this marking. The value of the lang property, if present, MUST be an [RFC5646] language code. If the marking_ref property is not present, this property MUST be present. If the marking_ref property is present, this property MUST NOT be present.
  • marking_ref: string - The marking_ref property specifies the ID of the marking-definition object that describes the marking. If the lang property is not present, this property MUST be present. If the lang property is present, this property MUST NOT be present.
  • selectors (*): Array<string (_min length: 1_)> (min: 1) - The selectors property specifies a list of selectors for content contained within the STIX Object in which this property appears.
extensionsSpecifies any extensions of the object, as a dictionary where keys are extension definition UUIDsObject with dynamic keys of type string (min length: 1) and values of type Object with properties:
  • extension_type (*): 'new-sdo' | 'new-sco' | 'new-sro' | 'property-extension' | 'toplevel-property-extension'
or Object with dynamic keys of type string (min length: 1) and values of type unknown
name (*)The name of the object.string (min length: 1)
x_mitre_attack_spec_version (*)The version of the ATT&CK spec used by the object. This field helps consuming software determine if the data format is supported. If the field is not present on an object, the spec version will be assumed to be 2.0.0. Refer to the ATT&CK CHANGELOG for all supported versions.string (min length: 1, regex: /^(0|[1-9]\d*)\.(0|[1-9]\d*)\.(0|[1-9]\d*)$/)
x_mitre_version (*)Represents the version of the object in a 'major.minor' format, where both 'major' and 'minor' are integers between 0 and 99. This versioning follows semantic versioning principles but excludes the patch number. The version number is incremented by ATT&CK when the content of the object is updated. This property does not apply to relationship objects.string (min length: 1, regex: /^(\d{1,2})\.(\d{1,2})$/)
x_mitre_old_attack_idOld ATT&CK IDs that may have been associated with this objectstring (min length: 1)
x_mitre_deprecatedIndicates whether the object has been deprecated.boolean
descriptionA description of the object.string (min length: 1)
x_mitre_platformsList of platforms that apply to the object.Array<'Field Controller/RTU/PLC/IED' | 'Network Devices' | 'Data Historian' | 'Google Workspace' | 'Office Suite' | 'ESXi' | 'Identity Provider' | 'Containers' | 'Azure AD' | 'Engineering Workstation' | 'Control Server' | 'Human-Machine Interface' | 'Windows' | 'Linux' | 'IaaS' | 'None' | 'iOS' | 'PRE' | 'SaaS' | 'Input/Output Server' | ...> (min: 1)
x_mitre_domains (*)The technology domains to which the ATT&CK object belongs.Array<'enterprise-attack' | 'mobile-attack' | 'ics-attack'> (min: 1)
x_mitre_contributorsPeople and organizations who have contributed to the object. Not found on objects of type relationship.Array<string (_min length: 1_)> (min: 1)
x_mitre_sectorsList of industry sector(s) where this asset is commonly observed.XMitreSectors
x_mitre_related_assetsRelated assets describe sector specific device names or alias that may be commonly associated with the primary asset page name or functional description. Related asset objects include a description of how the related asset is associated with the page definitionRelatedAssets
x_mitre_modified_by_refThe STIX ID of the MITRE identity object. Used to track the identity of the MITRE organization, which created the current version of the object. Previous versions of the object may have been created by other individuals or organizations.'identity--c78cb6e5-0c4b-4611-8297-d1b8b55e40b5'

(*) Required.
