Build automated IOC enrichment pipelines in Splunk Enterprise Security by ingesting threat feeds into KV Store collections and correlating them against security events via lookup tables, modular inputs, and the Threat Intelligence Framework. Use when wiring threat intel into Splunk correlation searches to flag IOC matches and cut SOC triage time.

Build automated IOC enrichment pipelines in Splunk Enterprise Security by ingesting threat feeds into KV Store collections and correlating them against security events via lookup tables, modular inputs, and the Threat Intelligence Framework. Use when wiring threat intel into Splunk correlation searches to flag IOC matches and cut SOC triage time.
Splunk's Threat Intelligence Framework in Enterprise Security enables SOC teams to automatically correlate indicators of compromise (IOCs) against security events. The framework ingests threat feeds, normalizes indicators into KV Store collections, and uses lookup-based correlation searches to flag matching events. Splunk Threat Intelligence Management centralizes collection, normalization, and enrichment from multiple sources, reducing triage time by providing analysts with immediate context.
