Threat intelligence in Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) enhances SOC capabilities by identifying known attack patterns, suspicious activity, and malicious indicators.
Essential Steps in Developing Threat Intelligence:
Collecting Data from Trusted Sources (A)
Gather data from threat intelligence feeds (e.g., STIX, TAXII, OpenCTI, VirusTotal, AbuseIPDB).
Include internal logs, honeypots, and third-party security vendors.
Analyzing and Correlating Threat Data (C)
Use correlation searches to match known threat indicators against live data.
Identify patterns in network traffic, logs, and endpoint activity.
Operationalizing Intelligence Through Workflows (E)
Automate responses using Splunk SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response).
Enhance alert prioritization by integrating intelligence into risk-based alerting (RBA).
