Automatically synchronize IoC in TheHive with Swiftask
Swiftask connects your threat sources to TheHive. Your Indicators of Compromise are injected and updated instantly into your incident cases.
Result:
Speed up your SOC team's response time by eliminating manual IoC entry.

Manual IoC entry slows down incident response
In a demanding cyber environment, every second counts. Yet, many SOC analysts waste valuable time manually copying and pasting IoCs (IP addresses, hashes, domains) from threat feeds into TheHive.
Main negative impacts:
Critical detection latency
The delay between threat discovery and injection into TheHive increases exposure risk.
Human data entry errors
Manual handling increases the risk of errors, distorting incident analysis and correlation.
Analyst burnout
Repetitive data management tasks divert your experts from high-value investigation missions.
Swiftask automates the synchronization pipeline between your Threat Intelligence feeds and TheHive. IoCs are automatically created, enriched, and linked to relevant cases.
BEFORE / AFTER
What changes with Swiftask
Manual IoC management
An analyst receives an alert via email or feed. They must open TheHive, create or update a case, copy each IoC one by one, verify the format, and save. The operation takes several minutes per alert.
Synchronization with Swiftask
As soon as an IoC is detected, Swiftask processes, normalizes, and injects it directly into TheHive via API. The incident is enriched in milliseconds, enabling immediate reaction.
Automate TheHive in 4 key steps
1
STEP 1 : Source definition
Configure Swiftask to listen to your data feeds, emails, or detection tools.
2
STEP 2 : Connector setup
Authenticate the TheHive connector in Swiftask with secure API keys.
3
STEP 3 : Rule definition
Establish filtering and injection criteria for IoCs into TheHive cases.
4
STEP 4 : Deployment and monitoring
Activate the flow and track injections in real-time from the Swiftask dashboard.
Synchronization power for your analysts
Swiftask analyzes the IoC type, severity, and incident context to ensure clean and correlated injection.
- Target connector: The agent performs the right actions in thehive based on event context.
- Automated actions: Automatic IoC injection, existing case updates, adding custom tags, and automatic association with observables.
- Native governance: All operations are tracked in Swiftask logs to ensure a complete audit trail.
Each action is contextualized and executed automatically at the right time.
Each Swiftask agent uses a dedicated identity (e.g. agent-thehive@swiftask.ai ). You keep full visibility on every action and every sent message.
Key takeaway: The agent automates repetitive decisions and leaves high-value actions to your teams.
Operational gains for your SOC

Scalability
Manage massive volumes of IoCs without increasing your team's workload.
SOC security and compliance
Swiftask applies enterprise-grade security standards for your thehive automations.
- Secure authentication: TheHive API connection encrypted and managed via secure secrets.
- Granular control: Define connector access permissions by role.
- Full traceability: Complete audit of every synchronized IoC.
