Enrichments

You can create custom external threat intelligence configurations to enrich certain types of entities.

You must have administrator rights to configure an enrichment.

When configured, enrichments add links to third-party websites to look up information about an entity. These links show where other enrichment data appears in Sophos XDR. For more information, see Detection enrichment.

We provide predefined enrichments, and you can also add your own.

Add a custom enrichment

You can add an enrichment as follows:

  1. Go to Security Operations > Integrations > Enrichments.
  2. On the External Threat Intelligence Configurations page, all enrichments are shown, whether created by Sophos or by an administrator. Click Add New.

    Enrichments page.

  3. In the Add New Configuration dialog, complete the configuration as follows:

    Field What to enter
    Data Type The entity type to enrich, such as IP Address, MD5, or SHA-256
    Display Name The label shown when you click the Shield icon next to an entity and in the Threat Intelligence section of entity details
    Description Description of the configuration
    URL The URL of the web page you want to open for more information about the entity

    Example

    URL: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/ip-address/$$ipAddress$$

    • https://www.virustotal.com/ is the website.
    • gui/ip-address/ is the IP address lookup page.
    • $$ipAddress$$ is the variable that is replaced with the selected entity’s IP address. We show you this variable in the example URL below the URL field.
  4. Click the test URL to verify.

  5. Click Save.

Add new configuration dialog.

Your enrichment now shows on the External Threat Intelligence Configurations page.
