From Indicators to Insights: Automating IOC Enrichment Using Python and Threat Feeds

https://dzone.com/articles/everything-you-should-know-about-apis Security operations frequently revolve around indicators of compromise (IOCs): technical artifacts or observables that suggest an attack is imminent, underway, or that a compromise may have already occurred. NIST defines an indicator of compromise in these terms, and the IETF highlights that IOCs have lifecycles and operational limitations that affect how reliably they can be used for defense. The practical implication is that enrichment must be repeatable, time-aware, and automation-friendly rather than an ad hoc sequence of man
