Importing a Threat Intelligence File

This section describes how to import a third-party threat intelligence file and trusted IP list in the Plaintext format. MTD will detect threats based on the IP addresses or domain names contained in the imported file.

Prerequisites

You have uploaded the threat intelligence file to an OBS bucket. For details, see Uploading a File.
  • Intelligence: A blacklist of IP addresses or domain names. Access requests from them are rejected. Currently, only one intelligence file with a maximum of 10,000 IP address or domain names can be uploaded.
  • Plaintext format: In your trusted IP list and intelligence file, ensure that each line contains only one IP address. For details, see How Do I Edit and Upload a Plaintext File to OBS?

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner of the management console and select a region or project.
  3. Click in the navigation pane on the left and choose Security & Compliance > Managed Threat Detection.
