[STIX](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/blog/tag/stix/?ts=markdown)

A new version of the Palo Alto Networks threat intelligence portal **AutoFocus** is out! And it's packed with several nifty features that make threat research a breeze.

The [AutoFocus New Features Guide](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/documentation/autofocus/autofocus/new-feature-guide.html) has everything you need to get started but here are some release highlights:

**STIX for AutoFocus API**: STIX (Structured Threat Indicator eXpression) is an XML-based standard that provides a consistent format for storing and sharing cyberthreat data. The AutoFocus API now lets you send API requests to AutoFocus and receive STIX-compliant responses. Sharing AutoFocus threat intelligence is easier than ever!

**New Threat Analysis Features**: Assess your level of coverage against malware by viewing which signatures were matched to a sample during WildFire analysis. Additionally, for behaviors observed in a sample during WildFire analysis, you can now view a list of activities exhibited by the samples that were used as evidence of the observed behavior.

**AutoFocus Feedback Tool** : A new feedback tool built into the AutoFocus navigation pane lets you get in touch with the AutoFocus team in just a couple of clicks. Send your rave reviews of AutoFocus or request features you'd like to see in future releases.

**Workflow Improvements**: Be an AutoFocus power user in no time with various time-saving enhancements to the portal. Changes include the ability to:

* Start searching for an artifact from any page on AutoFocus
* View the API request for a search directly in the AutoFocus interface
* Conduct multiple searches simultaneously in different browser windows

... [and many more](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/documentation/autofocus/autofocus/autofocus-release-notes.html).

### **Get Started**
