Define a data component to identify the properties or values of a data source

Before you begin

Role required: sn_sec_tisc.analyst

Procedure

  1. Navigate to Workspaces > Threat Intelligence Security Center.

  2. Click on Threat Intel Library icon on the workspace.

  3. Go to Data Component object.

  4. Click New.

    Note: Whenever you create new object records for observables, indicators, entities or objects a source record is created and a prompt message is displayed that the new object record is created and then the user is redirected to the aggregated record.

  5. On the form, fill in the fields.

    FieldDescription
    IDUnique ID to identify a Data Component.
    NameA name used to identify the Data Component.
    DescriptionA description that provides more details and context about the vulnerability, potentially including its purpose and its key characteristics.
    Data SourceIndicates the normalized degree of severity of this vulnerability
    TLPTLP is used to ensure that sensitive information is shared with the appropriate audience. It employs four colors (White, Green, Amber, and Red) to indicate different degrees of sensitivity.
    SourceSpecifies the threat source from which this object record is created.
    ConfidenceIndicates the confidence for this object. The confidence must be between 0-100.
    RevokedIndicates that the revoked objects are no longer considered valid by the object creator.
    FieldDescription
    NotesAdd any additional notes for this Data Component.
FieldDescription
Additional ContextAdd any additional context for this Data Component.
Spec VersionThe version of the STIX specification used to represent this object.The value of this property must be 2.1 for STIX Objects defined according to this specification.
LangThis property identifies the language of the text content in this object.
Created Time In SourceSpecifies the time the object is created in the source.
ExtensionsIndicates the extensions of Data Component.
Modified Time in SourceSpecifies the time the object is modified in the source.
Processing StatusRepresents the processing status of this object, course of action.
CreatedSpecifies the date and time when the object is created in the source.
UpdatedSpecifies the date and time when the object was updated in the source.
Created By RefThis property specifies that the identity object that describes the entity had created this object.

  1. Click Save.

    After you save, a prompt message is displayed indicating that A new observable record is created. Click Continue to edit the record and create new relationships.

  2. Click Continue.

    Important: After you create a new observable record, Prevent System Updates check box is displayed.

    Select this check box to prevent any updates from the system after the observable or indicator or STIX objects records are created.
