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 threatlist modular input parses downloaded and uploaded files and adds indicators to these collections. Files can contain any combination of indicators.

Threat collection in KV Store Supported IOC data types Local lookup file Required headers in lookup file with no spaces after commas
certificate_intel X509 Certificates Local Certificate Intel
certificate_issuer,certificate_subject,certificate_issuer_organization,certificate_subject_organization,certificate_serial,certificate_issuer_unit,certificate_subject_unit,description,weight

service_intel Services Local Service Intel

The collections.conf file in the DA-ESS-ThreatIntelligence subdirectory lists these KV Store collections.

The inputs.conf.spec file in the SA-ThreatIntelligence subdirectory lists the specifications for headers, such as weight:

weight = <integer>
* [Required]
* The weight assigned to the intelligence.
* Between 1 and 100.
* A higher weight will result in higher risk scores for corresponding intelligence matches.
* Defaults to 60.
