SAGE: The Format STIX, OSCAL, and SARIF Don't Cover

Blog Published: 05/04/2026

Security research lives in PDFs. PDFs are good for humans and useless to machines. That mismatch was annoying a few years ago. It's expensive today. Detection engineers are feeding those PDFs into RAG pipelines so their copilots can answer questions about threat actors, control mappings, an...
