The new application is available to the security community through IBM Security App Exchange, a marketplace where developers across the industry can share applications based on IBM Security technologies. As threats are evolving faster than ever, collaborative development amongst the security community will help organizations adapt quickly and speed innovation in the fight against cybercrime.

Leveraging the open application programming interfaces (APIs) available through IBM Security SOAR, Farsight DNSDB for IBM Security SOAR allows Farsight Security and IBM customers to automatically:
- Gather IP Enrichment: Enable the retrieval of hostnames that have recently resolved to target IP addresses.
- Identify Hostname Relationships: Find all IPs that a hostname has been observed resolving to around the time of observation as well as other hostnames that have resolved to the same IP address as the target hostname. This is especially helpful for identifying related command-and-control infrastructure using common infrastructure.
- Drive Automated Pivoting: Use the Farsight DNSDB app as part of a workflow to pivot from initial result sets and threat intelligence, identify new relationships and infrastructure likely to be weaponized.
