AlienVault OTX v1.0.2

About the connector

AlienVault Open Threat Exchange (OTX) is among our most useful threat intelligence tools. It is a repository of Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) supported by the community. It contributes pulses and each pulse contains a collection of IOCs targeted at a particular area.

This document provides information about the AlienVault-OTX connector, which facilitates automated interactions, with an AlienVault-OTX server using FortiSOAR™ playbooks. Add the AlienVault-OTX connector as a step in FortiSOAR™ playbooks and perform automated operations, such as retrieving details for an indicator, creating and retrieving details for a pulse, and running queries on the AlienVault-OTX server.

Version information

Connector Version: 1.0.2

FortiSOAR™ Version Tested on: 7.2.2-1098 and later

Authored By: Fortinet

Certified: Yes

About the connector

AlienVault Open Threat Exchange (OTX) is among our most useful threat intelligence tools. It is a repository of Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) supported by the community. It contributes pulses and each pulse contains a collection of IOCs targeted at a particular area.

This document provides information about the AlienVault-OTX connector, which facilitates automated interactions, with an AlienVault-OTX server using FortiSOAR™ playbooks. Add the AlienVault-OTX connector as a step in FortiSOAR™ playbooks and perform automated operations, such as retrieving details for an indicator, creating and retrieving details for a pulse, and running queries on the AlienVault-OTX server.

Included playbooks

The Sample - AlienVault-OTX - 1.0.2 playbook collection comes bundled with the AlienVault-OTX connector. This playbook contains steps using which you can perform all supported actions. You can see the bundled playbooks in the Automation > Playbooks section in FortiSOAR™ after importing the AlienVault-OTX connector.

Note: If you are planning to use any of the sample playbooks in your environment, ensure that you clone those playbooks and move them to a different collection, since the sample playbook collection gets deleted during connector upgrade and delete.
