Release	Release notes
Xanadu	[Placeholder link text to key bundle-security.view-associated-techniques] All observables, indicators, and entities now supports MITRE technique associations. Roll up of MITRE technique associations MITRE techniques can now be rolled up from artifacts at a case level both manually and automatically. Palo Alto Networks integration Integration with Palo Alto is now available to manage External Dynamic Lists (EDLs) directly from TISC. CrowdStrike Falcon EDR integration Integration with CrowdStrike Falcon EDR is now available for continuous monitoring and real-time alerting based on TISC intelligence. Working with Investigation Canvases Introduced a new Investigation Canvas for deeper and interactive case analysis. View details in Relationship Graph Enhanced the user experience on relationship visualizations. Bulk import Taxonomies Supports bulk taxonomy values upload. TISC API References Creating observables in TISC is now available through the implementation of TISC API 2.0. Defining Expiration Rules Define expiration policies at a more granular level by creating expiration rules for data source and record type combinations. Working with Webhooks Initiate trigger-based notifications by using Webhooks. Working with automated flows Automate analyst actions through sample automation flows. Add observables to TISC Case Add security incident and observables directly to a TISC case in the Security Incident Response Workspace. MITRE ATT&CK Technique Extraction Rules Capture automatically extracted MITRE techniques to the intelligence records such as observables, indicators, and all STIX entities.
Yokohama	Microsoft Defender for EDR Integration Integration with the Microsoft Defender for EDR allows Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) analysts to automatically push malicious or suspicious IP addresses, domains, file hashes, and URLs to Microsoft Defender for continuous monitoring and real-time alerting. Create a security incident from a TISC case Create security incidents and associate observables to the security incidents from a TISC case. Duplicate threat intelligence feeds Duplicate threat intelligence feeds to create an exact copy of the existing feed.
Zurich	Configure Threat Intelligence External Sharing Take advantage of external sharing for secure, automated, and on-demand dissemination of threat intelligence using STIX 2.1 and MISP formats. Supports sharing across external agencies (CISA, ISAC), integrations (SIEMs, EDRs), TAXII-based TISC instances, and inbound intelligence from external entities. About Report Templates in TISC Generate reports outside case management using base templates through a new reporting section in the Threat Intelligence Library. Configure custom MISP API feed Import events, attributes, and objects from the MISP server into the Threat Intelligence Library. Configure Custom Event Types for Timeline and Using Timeline in Investigation Canvas Define, visualize, and manage timeline events associated with nodes through the Investigation Canvas. Configure TISC add-on in Splunk Include optional attributes during configuration that can be stored in the Splunk KV Store. View Premium Threat Feed for CrowdStrike Map CrowdStrike Indicator Malicious confidence to TISC confidence. View Threat Intel Feeds Map specific source values to required observable fields during import process.

Changes

Xanadu	TISC Library Repository New aliases can now be added directly from the form views of the threat intelligence library.
Yokohama	Courses of Action Renamed Course of Actions to Courses of Action. Create Inbound Data Exclusion Rules Renamed Inbound Filtering Rules to Inbound Data Exclusion Rules.
Zurich	[Placeholder link text to key bundle-security.tisc-canvas-internal-intel] Aggregate and analyze the data from internal systems through internal intelligence included in the Investigation Canvas module to help you identify potential threats more effectively. Import Intelligence in TISC Enhanced the Import Intelligence functionality to support direct import of allow list observables. Working with Investigation Canvas The Investigation Canvas feature has been extended to include customized nodes, node relationships, and node legends, as well as the grouping and ungrouping of nodes. Investigation canvas and MITRE ATT&CK Navigate and use the MITRE-ATT&CK model within the Investigation Canvas more effectively by taking advantage of enhanced filtering options.

Release	Release notes
Xanadu	Visualize node connections between entities like observables, IOCs, and threat actors, and link cases or canvases to enrich analysis. Enable continuous monitoring and real-time alerts based on intelligence from TISC with CrowdStrike Falcon EDR integration. Block malicious IPs, URLs, and domains using External Dynamic List (EDL) capabilities with Threat Intelligence data and Palo Alto Networks integration. Manage the analyst actions through automation flows. Conduct research on threats to support the reactive and proactive needs of security teams. Create and track threat investigations using Case Management. See Threat Intelligence Security Center for more information.
Yokohama	Integrate with Microsoft Defender to enable Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) analysts to automatically push malicious or suspicious IP addresses, domains, file hashes, and URLs from TISC to Microsoft Defender. Added creation of security incident directly from a TISC case with an option to associate observable artifacts to the security incident. Enhanced support to export observables, indicators, and cases from the list views in STIX 2.1 JSON, CSV, and Excel formats. Added settings to ingest indicators of interest based on associations to threat actors, threat reports, or malware families, including an option to include indicators deleted on CrowdStrike. Improved Threat Intelligence Feed configuration functionality to create a duplicate copy of the existing feed. See Threat Intelligence Security Center for more information.
Zurich	External sharing is now generally available, allowing secure and automated sharing of threat intelligence in STIX 2.1 and MISP formats. Redesigned the Investigation Canvas with activity timelines, added internal intelligence, improved node design and interactions, enhanced related records to retrieve all the associated records, and upgraded the MITRE card with filter capabilities for a smoother experience. Introduced the ability to import events directly from the MISP server. Implemented a unified mapping experience for the text based feeds such as TEXT, CSV, and JSON import formats. Implemented confidence mapping for the CrowdStrike (CS) Feed as part of additional settings. You can now map the malicious confidence levels of CrowdStrike indicators to the observable confidence values. See Threat Intelligence Security Center for more information.
