Despite the increased adoption of open-source cyber threat intelligence (OSCTI) for acquiring knowledge about cyber threats, little effort has been made to harvest knowledge from a large number of unstructured OSCTI reports available in the wild (e.g., security articles, threat reports). These reports provide comprehensive threat knowledge in a variety of entities (e.g., IOCs, threat actors, TTPs) and relations, which, however, are hard to gather due to diverse report formats, large report quantities, and complex structures and nuances in the natural language report text. To bridge the gap, we propose ThreatKG, a system for automated open-source cyber threat knowledge gathering and management. ThreatKG automatically collects a large number of OSCTI reports from various sources, extracts high-fidelity threat knowledge, constructs a threat knowledge graph, and updates the knowledge graph by continuously ingesting new knowledge. To address multiple challenges, ThreatKG provides: (1) a hierarchical ontology for modeling a variety of threat knowledge entities and relations; (2) an accurate deep learning-based pipeline for threat knowledge extraction; (3) a scalable and extensible system architecture for threat knowledge graph construction, persistence, updating, and exploration. Evaluations on a large number of reports demonstrate the effectiveness of ThreatKG in threat knowledge gathering and management |
