The ontology can be used as a general vocabulary, road map and an extensible dictionary on the domain of information security. With its help, users can agree on a common language and definition of terms and relationships. In addition to browsing for information, the ontology is also useful for reasoning about relationships between its entities, e.g. Threats and countermeasures.  We provide means for extending the cognitive ontology, and provide examples of the extendibility with the countermeasure classes ‘memory protection’ and ‘source code analysis’. This article describes the content of the cognitive ontology as well as its usages, potential for extension, technical implementation and tools for working with it. We present a publicly available, OWL-based cognitive ontology of cybersecurity, which models assets, threats, vulnerabilities and countermeasures and their relations.
