Query Details

This query is used to match threat indicators with table events in order to identify any potential threats. The query assumes that a feed of threat indicators is periodically synchronized and ingested. The query includes several variables such as the frequency of the query, the period of time to query, and the wait time. It also includes several subqueries to retrieve specific watchlists and filter out certain indicators. The main part of the query matches the threat indicators with table events and summarizes the results. The final output includes the timestamp, user account, and IP address associated with each threat indicator.
