Data Enrichment

Adding context, such as threat intelligence, asset criticality, user identity or geolocation, to events and alerts.

Definition

Enrichment helps analysts triage faster by showing whether an IP is known malicious, who owns a host, how critical it is and what the user's role is. SIEMs and SOAR platforms enrich automatically via lookups and integrations. It is essential for risk-based prioritization.

Example

An alert automatically shows the destination IP's VirusTotal score and the host's owner from the CMDB.

Exam tip

Enrichment speeds triage and reduces escalation of false positives.
