Key points
  1. Threat Investigator uses threat intelligence from configured threat intelligence sources to enrich the cases during investigation and also displayed open source threat intelligence from Watson Discovery Service in investigation results, but the application is deprecating overlapping open source data from Watson Discovery Service (WDS) in 1.10.13 update.
  2. The open source threat intelligence was not used in investigation analytics and removal of Watson Discovery Service is not expected to reduce data quality.
  3. No application settings changes are required by administrators for upcoming application updates to Threat Investigator 1.10.13 or 1.10.14.
