Dragos Threat Feed

Ingested data

Ingests reports and its associated indicators from the Dragos WorldView API.

Processed data

Reports are ingested as Report entities on the platform. The PDF version of the report is included as an attachment in the Report entity. Indicators associated with the report are ingested as Indicator entities and are attached to the report through a relationship.

Requirements

  • Dragos API key.

  • Dragos API secret.

Execution schedule recommendation

The Execution schedule field allows you to set the feed to run automatically at specified intervals. Running the feed too frequently can strain resources and exhaust API rate limits. Follow your feed provider’s recommendations when setting the Execution schedule.

The Execution schedule field is set to None by default.

Dragos recommends that you:

  • Manually run the incoming feed. Set the Execution schedule to None.

  • Or automatically run the incoming feed a maximum of once every 6 hours:

    1. Set the Execution schedule to: Every [n] hours

    2. Then, select 6 from the drop-down menu that appears below so that the line reads:

      “Every 6 hours”
