Project Details
Understanding the Unified Threat Intelligence Dashboard
This page provides comprehensive documentation about UTID, a professional SOC-focused web application that demonstrates real-world threat intelligence workflows. Whether you're a hiring manager, SOC analyst, or fellow developer, this guide will help you understand the project's purpose, capabilities, and technical implementation.
🎯What is the Unified Threat Intelligence Dashboard?
The Unified Threat Intelligence Dashboard (UTID) is a professional, SOC-focused web application that streamlines the process of enriching Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) by aggregating intelligence from multiple OSINT sources into a single, unified interface.
Built with modern web technologies, UTID demonstrates real-world SOC analyst workflows and showcases how threat intelligence platforms can improve operational efficiency in Security Operations Centers.
🚨Why SOC Analysts Need This Tool
❌ The Problem
- SOC analysts waste 5-10 minutes per IOC investigation
- Manually switching between 8+ different OSINT websites
- Copying/pasting the same IOC repeatedly
- Context switching reduces focus and increases errors
- No centralized view of all intelligence sources
✅ The Solution
- Investigate IOCs in under 30 seconds
- Query all OSINT sources from one interface
- Enter IOC once, analyze everywhere
- Maintain focus with unified dashboard
- Side-by-side comparison of all results
🔍Supported IOC Types
IP Addresses
IPv4 addresses for malicious server identification
Example: 8.8.8.8URLs
Full web addresses for phishing and malware sites
Example: https://malicious-site.comDomains
Domain names used in cyber attacks
Example: evil-domain.xyzFile Hashes
MD5, SHA1, SHA256 hashes for malware identification
Example: 5d41402abc4b2a76...⚡How This Improves SOC Triage Speed
Traditional Workflow
Open VirusTotal → paste IOC → wait → Open AbuseIPDB → paste again → wait → Open Talos → repeat... 10+ minutes per IOC
UTID Workflow
Paste IOC once → Click "Analyze" → View all sources simultaneously → Make decision. Under 30 seconds!
⚠️Current Limitations
🎓 Educational Proof of Concept
This project is built for educational and portfolio purposes to demonstrate SOC analyst workflows and full-stack development skills. It showcases how threat intelligence platforms can improve operational efficiency in Security Operations Centers.
- No API Integration: Uses iframe embedding instead of direct API calls
- Platform Restrictions: Some OSINT platforms restrict iframe embedding
- No Data Aggregation: Results aren't parsed or aggregated automatically
- Manual Analysis: Analysts must review each source manually
- No Automated Scoring: No threat score calculation or verdicts
🚀Future Enhancements
With proper API access and backend infrastructure, this platform could evolve into a production-grade SOC tool with the following capabilities:
🔌 API-Based Enrichment
Direct API integration with VirusTotal, AlienVault OTX, and other platforms for automated data retrieval and parsing.
🤖 SOAR Integration
Connect with Security Orchestration platforms like Splunk SOAR, Cortex XSOAR for automated playbook execution.
📊 SIEM Integration
Push enriched intelligence back to SIEM platforms (Splunk, QRadar, Sentinel) for correlation and alerting.
🎯 Automated Scoring
Machine learning-based threat scoring combining verdicts from all sources into a single confidence score.
📝 Case Management
Built-in incident tracking with investigation notes, timeline tracking, and analyst collaboration features.
📈 Historical Analytics
Track IOC trends, repeated indicators, and campaign correlation across time for threat hunting.

Hi, I'm Nandan S
Aspiring SOC Analyst (L1)
Cybersecurity Analyst | Full Stack Developer
Aspiring SOC Analyst (L1) with structured training and guided hands-on experience in Cybersecurity Analysis, SOC operations, SIEM-based alert monitoring, initial incident investigation, and security event analysis. Trained on SIEM, EDR, threat intelligence, and ticketing tools through lab-based scenarios and instructor-led demonstrations, with a clear understanding of how alerts are analyzed, validated, documented, and escalated within a SOC environment.
I also bring prior internship experience in full-stack application development, which helps me better understand application behavior and logs. I built this Unified Threat Intelligence Dashboard to demonstrate my understanding of SOC analyst workflows and my ability to create professional security tools.
I am actively seeking an SOC Analyst L1 role to continue learning and support blue team operations, combining my cybersecurity training with my technical development background.
