Query Details
// This query assumes a feed of threat indicators is ingested/synchronized periodically, and each synchronization ingests new indicators and only old indicators that have been modified.
// Active threat indicators in Sentinel are renovated as ThreatIntelligenceIndicator events every ~12 days.

This query looks for threat indicators in a feed that are updated every 12 days. It filters out inactive or expired indicators and excludes certain sources. It then matches these indicators with events from a table and summarizes the relevant information. The query runs periodically to find new indicators or updates to existing ones.
