Security Stack Enrichment

Validin supports security stack enrichment by providing API access to historical internet infrastructure data that can be used directly inside existing security tools and workflows.

Instead of requiring analysts to manually investigate every alert, Validin is commonly used to add context automatically to domains, IP addresses, and related indicators before they are reviewed.

Reducing noise
Indicators associated with long-lived, stable infrastructure can be deprioritized automatically, while newly created or frequently changing infrastructure can be flagged for closer review. This allows teams to apply logic before alerts reach analysts.

How Validin supports stack enrichment

Using the Validin API, teams enrich infrastructure with historical DNS data, registration information, certificate relationships, host behaviour, and documented external references.

The API exposes the same underlying datasets available in the Validin platform. This information helps automated systems and analysts understand what an indicator represents and how it has behaved over time.

Enrichment need	How Validin helps
Automated context	API access to historical infrastructure data
Indicator history	First seen and last seen information
Relationship signals	DNS, certificates, registration, and host behaviour
Consistency	Same data model across platform and API
Integration	Designed for SIEM, SOAR, TIP, and internal tools

What teams typically enrich

Security teams commonly use Validin to add the following context to indicators:

How long a domain or IP has existed
Whether infrastructure has changed recently
How domains, IPs, and certificates are related
Whether similar infrastructure has been observed elsewhere
Whether external research references exist

This context is used to support prioritization and reduce unnecessary investigation.

Note
Validin enrichment provides historical infrastructure context rather than real-time reputation scores.

Where enrichment is applied

Validin enrichment is typically applied at multiple points in a security stack, including:

Alert enrichment in SIEM and SOAR platforms
Blocking workflows
SOC investigation platforms
Internal custom security tooling

API access and documentation

Validin provides a standard REST API for enrichment workflows.

All API requests require an API key and outbound HTTPS access to https://api.validin.com. Query limits and available features depend on the subscription plan.

Full API documentation, including endpoint details and response formats, is available here.
