Define Location

Define a geographic location to provide more context to other Suspicious Domain Objects (SDO).

Before you begin

Role required: sn_sec_tisc.analyst

Procedure

1. Navigate to Workspaces > Threat Intelligence Security Center.
2. Click on Threat Intel Library icon on the workspace.
3. Go to Location object.
4. Click New.
   Note:

   Whenever you create new object records for observables, indicators, entities or objects a source record is created and a prompt message is displayed that the new object record is created and then the user is redirected to the aggregated record.
5. On the form, fill in the fields

   Table 1. Identity Details view

   Field	Description
   ID	Unique ID for the location.
   Name	Enter a descriptive name to identify the location.
   Description	A description that provides more details and context about the intrusion set, potentially including its purpose and its key characteristics.
   Latitude	The latitude of the Location in decimal degrees. Positive numbers describe latitudes north of the equator, and negative numbers describe latitudes south of the equator. The value of this property must be from -90.0 through 90.0 respectively.
   Longitude	The longitude of the location in decimal degrees. Positive numbers describe longitudes east of the prime meridian and negative numbers describe longitudes west of the prime meridian. The value of this property must be from -180.0 through 180.0, inclusive.
   Precision	Defines the precision of the coordinates specified by the latitude and longitude properties. This is measured in meters. The actual location may be anywhere up to precision meters from the defined point. If this property is not present, then the precision is unspecified. If this property is present, the latitude and longitude properties must be present.
   Region	The region that this location is in.
   Country	The country that this location is in.
   Administrative Area	The state, province, or other sub-national administrative area that this location is in.
   City	The city that this location is in.
   Street Address	The street address that this location describes. This property includes all aspects or parts of the street address.
   Postal Code	The postal code that this location is in.
   Confidence	Enter the confidence for this course of action.
   TLP	TLP is used to ensure that sensitive information is shared with the appropriate audience. It employs four colors (White, Green, Amber, and Red) to indicate different degrees of sensitivity.
   Source	Specifies the threat source from which this object record is created.
   Revoked	Indicates that the revoked objects are no longer considered valid by the object creator.

   Table 2. Insights

   Field	Description
   Notes	Add any additional notes for this location.

   Table 3. Additional Information

   Field	Description
   Additional Context	Add any additional context for this location.
   Spec Version	The version of the STIX specification used to represent this object. The value of this property must be 2.1 for STIX Objects defined according to this specification.
   Lang	This property identifies the language of the text content in this object.
   Created Time In Source	Specifies the time the object is created in the source.
   Extensions	Indicates the extensions for this location.
   Modified Time in Source	Specifies the time the object is modified in the source.
   Processing Status	Represents the processing status of this object, course of action.
   Created	Specifies the time when the record is created in the source.
   Updated	Specifies the time when the record is modified in the source.
   Created By Ref	This property specifies that the identity object that describes the entity had created this object.

6. Click Save.
   After you save, a prompt message is displayed indicating that A new observable record is created. Click Continue to edit the record and create new relationships.
7. Click Continue.
   Important:

   After you create a new observable record, Prevent System Updates check box is displayed.

   Select this check box to prevent any updates from the system after the observable or indicator or STIX objects records are created.

   Table 4. Tags&Taxonomies

   Field	Description
   Tags
   Select Tags	Select the tags that are associated with the location.
   Add Tags	Add new tags.
   Taxonomies
   Select Taxonomy	Select a Taxonomy that is associated with this location.
   Add Taxonomy Values	Add Taxonomy values that are associated with this location.

Note:

1. You can link and unlink the related records associated with this object. For more information, see Link Threat Intel Related Records.
2. The various SDOs within the TI library also contains the potential relationships. To establish a relationships between any two objects, you use the Potential Relationships link from the Threat Intel Library to confirm the relationships between the objects. For more information, see Confirm object-object potential relationships.
3. Also, use the Related Records section from the objects form view to confirm the relationships between two Objects using the Potential Relationships section available on the form view. For more information on see, Confirm Potential Relationships from Related Records.
4. You can add objects to cases. For more information, see Add to Case.
