Which component of Splunk ES is responsible for managing threat intelligence?

The Threat Intelligence Framework is specifically designed to manage threat intelligence within Splunk Enterprise Security (ES). This component plays a crucial role in aggregating, normalizing, and correlating threat intelligence data from various sources, enabling organizations to enrich their security data with relevant threat information.

By utilizing this framework, security analysts can effectively apply threat intelligence to their security monitoring efforts, facilitating proactive detection and response to potential threats. Furthermore, the Threat Intelligence Framework supports the integration of external threat feeds, which enhances the contextual understanding of threats and vulnerabilities in the environment.

In contrast, the Incident Management Framework focuses on the processes related to handling incidents once they occur, the Data Analytics Module deals with advanced data processing and analysis but does not specifically target threat intelligence, and the Security Monitoring Dashboard provides a visual interface for monitoring security events and alerts without directly managing threat intelligence. Each of these components serves its unique purpose, but the management of threat intelligence is distinctly under the purview of the Threat Intelligence Framework.
