Overview#

The IBM X-Force Exchange API offers a comprehensive threat intelligence database, allowing users to access risk scores, reports, and historical data on various threats. With Pipedream, you can automate workflows involving threat analysis, monitoring, and response. By leveraging its capabilities, you can streamline security operations, such as fetching threat intelligence, updating threat databases, and alerting based on specific indicators of compromise (IOCs).

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    ibm_x_force_exchange: {
      type: "app",
      app: "ibm_x_force_exchange",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.xforce.ibmcloud.com/api/user/profile`,
      auth: {
        username: `${this.ibm_x_force_exchange.$auth.api_key}`,
        password: `${this.ibm_x_force_exchange.$auth.api_password}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Example Use Cases#

Automated Threat Intelligence Gathering: Connect the IBM X-Force Exchange API to Pipedream to regularly pull threat intelligence. Set up a schedule to automatically fetch the latest threat reports, and use Pipedream's built-in key-value store to track changes or updates in threat data.
Real-Time Security Alerts: Use the API to monitor for specific IOCs. When the API returns data matching your criteria, trigger an alert workflow on Pipedream that sends notifications via Slack, email, or SMS, keeping your team informed about potential threats instantly.
Incident Response Coordination: Integrate IBM X-Force Exchange with a ticketing system like Zendesk on Pipedream. When new threats are detected, automatically create tickets to ensure your security team prioritizes and responds to incidents swiftly and efficiently.
