Analysts are expected to rapidly investigate incidents, without compromising the process. For many, this means manually cross-referencing and copying hashes and other data. Over a year in a SOC, this means hundreds of hours per analyst plus some degree of human error. D3 can automatically query Recorded Future for IOC reputations and other relevant data related to new alerts, enabling instant analysis without changing interfaces.

When a potential phishing email is escalated to D3, either through an email protection system or manually by the recipient, D3 extracts the sender’s domain and the URL of any links in the message. D3 can then look up those extracted indicators in Recorded Future and reveal any associated malicious activity. Based on the result, the D3 user can then trigger a response playbook to block the IP, blacklist the sender, notify the email recipient, and orchestrate any other appropriate actions.
