Supported types of threat intelligence in Splunk Enterprise Security

Splunk Enterprise Security supports several types of threat intelligence. The supported types of threat intelligence correspond to the KV Store collections in which the threat intelligence is stored.

The threat intelligence manager modular input parses downloaded and uploaded files and adds indicators to these collections. If you use lookup files, such as uploaded lookup files or the local lookup files listed in the table, then you must separate the indicators by type into the lookup files. Otherwise, the files can contain mixed indicators.
