Integrating Threat Intelligence with SIEM and SOAR

Threat intelligence is only as valuable as the actions it enables. While human-readable reports are crucial for strategic planning, machine-readable intelligence is what actually stops attacks in real-time. This requires integrating your intelligence with your SIEM and SOAR.

Enhancing the SIEM with CTI

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions like Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, and Elastic are the central nervous system of the SOC. By piping structured Threat Intelligence directly into your SIEM, you can achieve:

  • Real-time Correlation: Automatically matching incoming network traffic and endpoint logs against high-confidence malicious indicators.
  • Alert Enrichment: Providing Tier 1 analysts with immediate context. Instead of just an "anomalous connection," the alert immediately details whether the IP is associated with a known APT group.
  • Reduced Triage Time: Filtering out low-priority alerts by cross-referencing external intel on benign or noisy network scanners.

Automating Response with SOAR

Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) tools take the enriched alerts from the SIEM and execute predefined playbooks. Adding CTI to this process ensures that automation is driven by verified, high-confidence data.

A typical integrated workflow looks like this:

  1. SIEM detects a connection to an unknown IP.
  2. SOAR automatically checks the TIP for the IP's reputation.
  3. If the TIP confirms the IP is a known C2 server, the SOAR automatically updates the perimeter firewall to block the connection and isolates the internal host.

How Threat Landscape Enables Integration

To make these workflows possible, your intelligence needs to be delivered fast and accurately. Our Threat Landscape API is built precisely for this scale, allowing you to stream structured STIX/TAXII data directly into your existing security stack.

Whether you are querying individual indicators automatically via SOAR playbooks or ingesting blocklists into your SIEM via the Threat Landscape Platform, we ensure your automated defenses are backed by the most reliable intelligence.
