Integrating intelligence with Cortex

As was mentioned at the beginning of the chapter, Cortex is a powerful engine to analyze observables and get intelligence from external sources.

The integration of TheHive and Cortex allows you to get threat intelligence information from different sources without having to change to different platforms. As you learned in the previous part, you only need to register an observable and select the analyzers where the information will be searched.

Also, you can integrate Cortex with other threat intelligence platforms such as the Malware Information Sharing Project (MISP). The following diagram shows the way this integration can be done:

It is also possible to initiate cases in an automated way by receiving alerts from different sources such as SIEMs and emails. This feature will be seen in the next chapter.
