Malwareto the record types to ingest. Threat Actor records now link toMalwarethroughusesanddevelopsrelationships, and toLocationthroughoriginates-fromandtargetsrelationships. Report and Indicator records are linked toMalwarethroughassociated-with. Threat Actor records ingested from CrowdStrike now representcapabilities,target industries,target regions,target countries, andoriginsas structured tags rather than free-text, additional context fields. Users can use these attributes as filters.
