Set up WHOIS integration with TISC to perform domain and URL lookups for threat intelligence enrichment. This integration provides context on observables to help determine potential threats.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_sec_tisc.admin  
Important:  
The Threat Intelligence Security Center and Whois Observable Enrichment plugins must be installed and active.

Download the Whois integration from the ServiceNow Store and confirm you have a valid Whois account before use.
