In the STIX tab, you can create and configure Structured Threat Information eXpression (STIX) data source for Context Hub. Navigate to netwitness_adminicon_25x22.png (Admin) > Services> Select Context Hub service > View > Config > STIX tab.

The STIX tab of the Context Hub service allows you to create one or more STIX, REST URLs, or TAXII data sources and edit them whenever required. When STIX is configured, Context Hub service automatically considers it as a data source.
