ThreatQ Mapping
Splunk Assets
The Splunk Assets feed retrieves the search results from SOCThreatQgetassets
Splunk report that were created after the feed start run time.
If a result contains the field affected_asset
then a new asset is created using the value of this field.
If a result contains the field affected_user
then a new identity is created using the value of this field.
If a result contains the field indicator
then the integration gets all the ThreatQ Events of type Sighting
that were created after feed start run time, and contain the value of the field indicator
. It also gets the ThreatQ Indicator equal to the value of this field. The new asset and identity will be related to the exiting event and indicator in case they exist.
