• Trend Micro Research Blog - pulls blog posts from the Trend Micro Research Blog.

The integration ingests the following system object types:

• Indicators
• Reports

The same steps can be used to upgrade the integration to a new version.

1. Log into https://marketplace.threatq.com/.
2. Locate and download the integration yaml file.
3. Navigate to the integrations management page on your ThreatQ instance.
4. Click on the Add New Integration button.
5. Upload the integration yaml file using one of the following methods:
   • Drag and drop the file into the dialog box
   • Select Click to Browse to locate the file on your local machine
6. Select the individual feeds to install, when prompted and click Install.

   ThreatQ will inform you if the feed already exists on the platform and will require user confirmation before proceeding. ThreatQ will also inform you if the new version of the feed contains changes to the user configuration. The new user configurations will overwrite the existing ones for the feed and will require user confirmation before proceeding.

The feed(s) will be added to the integrations page. You will still need to configure and then enable the feed.
