Integration Details

ThreatQuotient provides the following details for this integration:

Introduction

The NSFOCUS CDF integration enables the automated ingestion of NSFOCUS Threat Intelligence (NTI) into the ThreatQ platform, providing analysts with timely and actionable insight into emerging cyber threats. Leveraging a global sensor network with strong visibility into North Asia, NSFOCUS delivers high-quality indicators of compromise, including IP addresses, domains, URLs, and file hashes. Each indicator is enriched with contextual metadata such as confidence, threat level, threat type, and category, allowing organizations to enhance threat analysis, accelerate response efforts, and strengthen proactive defense capabilities.

The integration provides the following feed:

  • NSFOCUS Threat Intelligence IOCs - ingests NSFOCUS Threat Intelligence IOCs, such as domains, IP Addresses, and URLs into ThreatQ.

The integration ingests indicator type objects into the ThreatQ platform. 

Prerequisites

The integration requires the following:

  • An NSFOCUS NTI API Key.

Installation

Perform the following steps to install the integration:

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

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

Configuration

Known Issues / Limitations

  • This feed fetches the incremental feed from NSFOCUS NTI. This is due to the volume of the full feed being extremely large. For more information and the full list regarding the threat type and subtype, refer to the NSFOCUS API docs.
