My main use case for Recorded Future is IOC enrichment, dark web monitoring, brand protection, and sandboxing for malware. For investment monitoring, privacy protection, or sandboxing in my day-to-day work, I have our SIEM use cases. Whenever a new alert or SIEM use case is triggered, we automatically take any IOCs, any IPs, any hashes, any domains, any URLs, and feed them into Recorded Future APIs to get IOC enrichment and provide them to the analyst.
For onboarding Recorded Future, it is typically straightforward. We need to have the license provisioned to access the platform. We configure users, user roles, set up policies, and integrate with our SIEM, SOAR, and EDR platforms. The next step involves tuning alerts, defining watchlists, and customizing intelligence collection based on the unique threat landscape of the energy sector. Recorded Future provides onboarding sessions, documentation, and support to help our teams understand how to use intelligence cards, risk scoring, and sector-specific dashboards. Once configured, the platform becomes a central intelligence hub for SOC, IR, and threat-hunting teams. In terms of reducing alert fatigue, the integration of Recorded Future is very straightforward. We just need to follow a few steps and the integration is complete. We can get real-time threat data as part of the alerts, including dark web monitoring, detailed vulnerability intelligence, and nation-state ransomware information, which helps to prioritize alerts. The feeds go directly into the platform, enabling analysts to quickly understand the relevance of threats in real time. For Recorded Future's risk assessment, there are a number of tools that we can integrate with the system, especially for risk assessment. We integrated this risk assessment tool with different energy sector commonly used products such as Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, SentinelOne, ServiceNow, CrowdStrike, and the Splunk SOAR platform. These integrations, including into the firewall, allow threat intelligence to automatically enrich alerts. Any analyst looking at the alerts will get detailed information about the source IP, the destination IP, and whether there has been a breach in the past or if the user is part of the incident response. This kind of threat intelligence gives us additional capabilities to resolve the scoring. From the risk perspective, we can easily identify what we need to prioritize according to critical, high, low, and medium severity. Our team finds it easy to focus on resolving threats according to the energy sector vulnerabilities or dangers. We can get very granular data about what we are looking for and what is happening in our environment.
When I was in the SOC team responsible for security operations, I also worked for threat intelligence, and Recorded Future is primarily used as part of threat intelligence and vulnerability prioritization tool in a specific project. In our SOC team, the main activity is to gather all logs and detect potential threats. Once we started using Recorded Future, it provided us with an overall summary of all threats, including potential threats specific to our organization by providing detailed information on threats specific to the BFSI and healthcare domains as well as worldwide active threats, exploits, vulnerabilities, and IOCs, which helps us in threat hunting during our SOC activities. In our workflow, there was previously manual effort involved in detecting and hunting threats. Using Recorded Future, we now get a clear view of threat behavior and activities, which helps us gather all necessary details to easily create log queries to hunt threats quickly. In threat actor intelligence, our focus is to check several key aspects before hunting a threat, such as the nature of the threat, associated IPs, IOCs, and threat actor behavior, allowing us to gain visibility into threat actor activities, campaigns, and tactics. This provides valuable context to the overall threat landscape and aids in developing queries with our SIEM engineering team. Recorded Future is deployed on an on-premises server in our organization, with multiple cloud connectors and environments integrated to check available threat feeds.
My main use case for Recorded Future is as a threat and vulnerability feed. In relation to my use case with Recorded Future, it is the go-to tool when it comes to checking for third-party issues, and it is a great place to have news and updates.
Our main use case for Recorded Future is brand monitoring, reputation, and risk assessment, as it is one of the best tools that combine all three functionalities. We mainly use Recorded Future for our brand monitoring, to maintain our reputation, and for monitoring partner companies. Recorded Future offers scanning of a wide range of the internet, including public sources like various pastebins, GitHub, social media, as well as forums on the dark web. This helps identify if any company assets have been leaked by employees unintentionally, as well as through potential fraudsters. Additionally, it helps us with identifying the severity of vulnerabilities by assessing how many POCs are available or how often certain vulnerabilities are mentioned in related channels. I can give a specific example of how I have used Recorded Future for brand monitoring and risk assessment. We have been able to identify leaked credentials and close those accounts off. We have also been able to identify malware being distributed or spam being sent out by customers using our infrastructure, and we could shut off those accounts.

We used Recorded Future to find many things like passwords captured in the dark net and websites selling other information regarding our domains. We use the solution to search for our brand or other institutions on the darknet.
I am working on various alerts related to brand impersonation, typosquatting, abuse domain, and other similar cases. Since the use cases are built-in, I have not created any custom rules.

As an analyst serving several clients, our team relies on Recorded Future to receive timely alerts related to using underground screen searches. This involves using an algorithmic code feature to gather the specific data we need, which then triggers an alert for us. When we receive the alert on the platform, we assess it to determine if it pertains to our client's needs. If it does, we report our findings to the client.

Recorded Future covers a lot of different use cases. For example, we are using it for threat intelligence research. We do use the tool to make active research on what is found around the threat. We look at patterns, for example, and see what can be elaborated on from that. In another use case, we use it to get all the IOCs registered and use it after that to allow other intelligence technologies to feed into that to prevent any issues for customers. We can also use it for active monitoring in the customer interface. We can monitor the business side of a campaign. We can monitor for specific threats or market activity on the dashboard. We can develop queries to run in a continuous mode in order to get the best reviews.
