OpenCTI Platform Deployment and Slack Integration

Problem

Threat-intelligence data from multiple external sources needed to be reviewed separately, reducing the speed and consistency of security-context analysis. The team also needed timely visibility when new intelligence was ingested.

Decision

Deployed OpenCTI using Docker and configured more than ten connectors, including CVE, MITRE, AlienVault, and AbuseIPDB. Integrated Slack notifications to surface new threat-intelligence updates to the team.

Result

Centralized threat data from multiple external sources in one platform and provided timely visibility of incoming intelligence updates through Slack notifications.

Retrospective

A future iteration could define connector-health monitoring, data-quality checks, role-based workflows, and dashboards tailored to specific investigation use cases.
