Ingest indicator feeds from TAXII 2.0 and 2.1 servers.

Configure TAXII 2 Feed on Cortex XSOAR

1. Navigate to Settings > Integrations > Servers & Services.
2. Search for TAXII 2 Feed.
3. Click Add instance to create and configure a new integration instance.

Parameter	Description	Required
Fetch indicators		False
Indicator Reputation	Indicators from this integration instance will be marked with this reputation	False
Source Reliability	Reliability of the source providing the intelligence data	True
Traffic Light Protocol Color	The Traffic Light Protocol (TLP) designation to apply to indicators fetched from the feed	False
Feed Fetch Interval		False
Bypass exclusion list	When selected, the exclusion list is ignored for indicators from this feed. This means that if an indicator from this feed is on the exclusion list, the indicator might still be added to the system.	False
Discovery Service URL (e.g. https://example.net/taxii)		True
Username / API Key		False
Password		False
Collection Name To Fetch Indicators From	Indicators will be fetched from this collection. Run "taxii2-get-collections" command to get a valid value. If left empty, the instance will try to fetch from all the collections in the given discovery service.	False
Incremental Feed	Incremental feeds pull only new or modified indicators that have been sent from the integration. As the determination if the indicator is new or modified happens on the 3rd-party vendor's side, and only indicators that are new or modified are sent to Cortex XSOAR, all indicators coming from these feeds are labeled new or modified.	False
Full Feed Fetch	When enabled, fetch-indicators will try to fetch the entire feed for every fetch. When disabled, fetch-indicators will try to fetch just the latest entries (since the last fetch).	False
Max Indicators Per Fetch (disabled for Full Feed Fetch)	The maximum number of indicators that can be fetched per fetch. If this field is left empty, there will be no limit on the number of indicators fetched.	False
First Fetch Time	The time interval for the first fetch (retroactive). <number> <time unit> of type minute/hour/day/year. For example, 1 minute, 12 hour	False
STIX Objects To Fetch		False
Certificate File as Text	Add a certificate file as text to connect to the TAXII server	False
Key File as Text	Add a key file as text to connect to the TAXII server	False
Max STIX Objects Per Poll	Set the number of stix object that will be requested with each taxii poll (http request). A single fetch is made of several taxii polls. Changing this setting can help speed up fetches, or fix issues on slower networks. Please note server restrictions may apply, overriding and limiting the "requested limit".	False
Complex Observation Mode	Choose how to handle complex observations. Two or more Observation Expressions MAY be combined using a complex observation operator such as "AND", "OR". e.g. `[ IP = 'b' ] AND [ URL = 'd' ]`	False
Update custom fields	Choose whether to import the XSOAR custom fields. Note: this might overwrite the data pulled from other sources.	False
Trust any certificate (not secure)		False
Use system proxy settings		False
Tags	Supports CSV values.	False
Default API Root to use	The Default API Root to use (e.g. default, public). If left empty, the server default API root will be used. When the server has no default root, the first available API root will be used instead. Providing an API root that can't be reached will result in an error message with all possible API roots listed.	False

4. Click Test to validate the URLs, token, and connection.

Using API Token authentication

In order to use the integration with an API token you'll first need to change the Username / API Key (see '?') field to _api_token_key. Following this step, you can now enter the API Token into the Password field - this value will be used as an API key.

Using custom authentication header

In case the TAXII 2 server you're trying to connect to requires a custom authentication header, you'll first need to change the Username / API Key (see '?') field to _header: and the custom header name, e.g. _header:custom_auth. Following this step, you can now enter the custom auth header value into the Password field - this value will be used as a custom auth header.

Complex Observation Mode

Two or more Observation Expressions MAY be combined using a complex observation operator such as "AND", "OR", and "FOLLOWEDBY". e.g. [ IP = 'b' ] AND [ URL = 'd' ]. These relationships are not represented in in CORTEX XSOAR TIM indicators. You can opt to create them while ignoring these relations, or you can opt to ignore these expressions - if you chose the latter, then no indicator will be created for complex observations.

Commands

You can execute these commands from the Cortex XSOAR CLI, as part of an automation, or in a playbook. After you successfully execute a command, a DBot message appears in the War Room with the command details.
