Automating Threat Data Retrieval: How ThreatConnect, Polarity, and the TQL Generator are Changing the Game | ThreatConnect
This article discusses the challenges faced by CTI Analysts in investigating phishing campaigns and how tools like ThreatConnect, Polarity, and the TQL Generator can streamline workflows by automating data retrieval, enriching threat intelligence, and improving real-time collaboration. Affected: organizations, cybersecurity analysts

Keypoints :

  • CTI Analysts often struggle with slow manual processes when investigating threats.
  • Automation is crucial in modern threat intelligence due to the volume of data and rapid evolution of threats.
  • ThreatConnect offers Playbooks for automating repetitive tasks and complex workflows.
  • Intelligent Enrichment in ThreatConnect enhances raw indicators with actionable context.
  • Custom workflows standardize processes for a consistent response to threats.
  • Polarity integrates enriched intelligence into analysts’ workflows in real-time.
  • The TQL Generator simplifies TQL syntax, allowing analysts to retrieve data using natural language queries.
  • The combination of these tools can drastically reduce investigation times from hours to minutes, enhancing organizational security.

MITRE Techniques :

  • Automated Response (T1203): Employing Playbooks to automate the response to identified threats.
  • Data Enrichment (T1070): Using ThreatConnect’s Intelligent Enrichment to retrieve additional context from external and internal sources.
  • Incident Analysis (T1568): Rapid investigation of phishing campaigns through efficient workflows and Playbook automations.
  • Querying Data (T1402): Utilizing the TQL Generator to translate natural language queries into ThreatConnect Query Language.
  • Threat Sharing (T1075): Sharing enriched intelligence with external ISACs for improved threat awareness.

Indicator of Compromise :

  • [URL] http://malicious.com/path
  • [Domain] suspiciousdomain.com
  • [IP Address] 192.168.1.1
  • [Email Address] attacker@example.com
  • [Hash] 5d41402abc4b2a76b9719d911017c592
