Manual and Automated Sharing using flows
This section describes how to configure manual sharing via GUI and automated intelligence sharing between TISC instances. It outlines the setup of inbound and outbound intelligence profiles, required roles, authentication configuration, and exclusion rules in both the source and target instances.
Configuring the Target TISC Instance
Role required: sn_sec_tisc.admin
Prerequisites: Before you begin, ensure you have the appropriate roles assigned.
Role Requirements
| Step | Action | Required Role |
|---|---|---|
| Create API ingestion user | Create a dedicated user and assign required role | admin (system administrator) |
| Configure and manage TISC settings | Perform remaining configuration steps | sn_sec_tisc.admin |
| Post intelligence via API | Authenticate and submit intelligence data | sn_sec_tisc.api_post_intel (assigned to the integration user) |
- Create a user with the role
sn_sec_tisc.api_post_intel:Create a dedicated user in the target TISC instance and assign them the
sn_sec_tisc.api_post_intelrole. This dedicated user is used to authenticate incoming intelligence data submitted to the instance. - Set up an Inbound Intelligence Profile:
- Navigate to .
- Select Inbound Intel Sharing Profiles.
- Create a new profile. For more information, see Configuring Inbound Intel Sharing Profiles.
- In the User for authentication field, select the user created in the previous step.
- Set the Data format to STIX 2.1.
- Save and enable the profile to allow the target TISC instance to receive intelligence.
- Select the Copy Profile ID
to copy the profile ID.Nota:You need the profile ID when configuring the outbound intelligence profile on the source TISC instance. For more information, see Configuring Inbound Intel Sharing Profiles.
Configuring the Source TISC Instance
- Configure global sharing rules: Ensure the following are configured and published based on your requirements:
- Outbound Intel Data Exclusion Rules. For detailed procedure, see Configuring Outbound Intel Data Exclusion Rule.
- Outbound Intel Sharing Controls. For detailed procedure, see Configuring Outbound Intel Sharing Controls.
- Create an Outbound Intelligence Profile:
- Create a new outbound profile to manage the data sharing process. For more details, see Configuring Outbound Intel Sharing Profiles.
- Specify the API endpoint URL as:
.https://{instance name} /api/sn_sec_tisc/v1/tisc_intel_sharing_api/post_intel - Set the Authentication required to true.
- Enter the credentials of the user created in the target TISC instance (refer to the first step of the target setup) for the username and password.
- Configure Request Headers: In the Headers to be passed with request field, include the
following:
Profile-GUID: {Profile ID from the target TISC instance}Shared-Intel-Format: STIX 2.1 - Obtaining the Profile ID: The Profile ID required for the header can be found in the target TISC instance’s Inbound Intelligence Profile. Use the Copy Profile ID button to retrieve it. For more information, see Configuring Inbound Intel Sharing Profiles.
- Save and enable the outbound profile.
After configuration:
- Save the profile.
- Validate the connection to confirm it is functioning correctly.
- Enable the profile to activate intelligence data sharing.
