Proactive Defense: Threat intelligence fuels a proactive approach where SOC teams can anticipate incidents, preemptively block malicious infrastructures, adjust their triage processes and response plans accordingly, even before an alert is generated. Indicator Enrichment: Real-time context on suspicious IPs, domains, file hashes, and other indicators of compromise (IOCs) lets analysts determine if an alert is related to a known threat actor or malware campaign. A proactive approach, fast incident response and mitigation, smart resource allocation are what alert triage via threat intelligence helps achieve. Alert triage is critical for an effective SOC, and threat intelligence supercharges it by providing the necessary context, automation, and prioritization to focus on real threats. Between threat detection and response, there is a vitally important operation known as alert triage. Threat Actor Profiling: Knowing the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of adversaries helps to recognize whether an alert is part of a larger attack chain. This operation is alert triage — assessing and prioritizing security alerts. TI Lookup is a solution for fast initial triage: a powerful search engine that provides fresh contextual data on IOCs and TTPs and helps correlate them with known threats.
