automating-ioc-enrichment
Automates the enrichment of raw indicators of compromise with multi-source threat intelligence context using SOAR platforms, Python pipelines, or TIP playbooks to reduce analyst triage time and standardize enrichment outputs. Use when building automated enrichment workflows integrated with SIEM alerts, email submission pipelines, or bulk IOC processing from threat feeds. Activates for requests involving SOAR enrichment, Cortex XSOAR, Splunk SOAR, TheHive, Python enrichment pipelines, or automated IOC processing.

# Automating IOC Enrichment
## When to Use
Use this skill when:
- Building a SOAR playbook that automatically enriches SIEM alerts with threat intelligence context before routing to analysts
- Creating a Python pipeline for bulk IOC enrichment from phishing email submissions
- Reducing analyst mean time to triage (MTTT) by pre-populating alert context with VT, Shodan, and MISP data
**Do not use** this skill for fully automated blocking decisions without human review — enrichment automation should inform decisions, not execute blocks autonomously for high-impact actions.
## Detection Gaps & Validation
- **Silent API failures:** a 429 or timeout that returns empty stats reads downstream as a clean IOC. Failed calls must raise/log and trigger fallback, never default `vt_malicious=0`. The `retry_on_429` decorator returns `None` after max retries -- callers must handle that, not treat it as benign.
- **Missing caching:** re-querying the same IOC burns rate budget (VT free = 4/min) and stalls the pipeline; cache results ~24h keyed by value+type.
