 ## Overview
 
 Datadog provides built-in [threat intelligence][1] for Cloud SIEM logs. This article explains how to extend that functionality by enriching logs with your own custom threat intelligence feeds.
 
-## Bring your own threat intelligence

 Threat intelligence is supported in the CSV format, and requires a table for each Indicator type (for example, IP address or domain) and requires the following columns:

+
+## Overview
+
+Indicators of Compromise (IOC) are evidence that your systems have experienced a security breach. With the [IOC Explorer][1], you can view more details about compromises, and see related signals and logs.
+
+For more information on the intelligence sources the IOC Explorer displays, see [Threat intelligence sources][2].
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+To view data in the IOC Explorer, all of the following must be true:
+- Your organization must subscribe to Cloud SIEM.
+- The indicator of compromise must be in a threat feed that was available to Datadog at the time of the log acquisition.
+- A log that has a matching entity in threat intelligence must be acquired.
+- The log must be in the time frame shown on the Explorer. The time frame is fixed to the last 30 days.
+
+## Use the IOC Explorer
+
+To access the IOC Explorer in Datadog, go to **Security** > **Cloud SIEM** > **Investigate** > [**IOC Explorer**][1].
+
+### Query and filter indicators of compromise
+
+You can write custom queries or apply filters to determine which indicators of compromise you can see in the explorer. You can do so by:
+- Severity score
+- [Entity type][3]
+- [Threat intelligence source][2]
+- [Threat intelligence category][4]
+
+Additionally, you can click a column in the Explorer to sort by that column's values.
+
+### Get more context on an indicator of compromise
+
+You can click an indicator of compromise to open a side panel that contains additional information about it:
+- When the indicator was first and last seen in a threat intel feed
+  <div class="alert alert-info" style="margin-bottom: 0">This is distinct from the first or last time the indicator was seen in a log.</div>
+- Any categories and ratings assigned to it, and the sources associated with those ratings
+- A breakdown of the indicator's severity score
+- Signal matches, which you can view in Signals Explorer
+- Related logs, which you can view in Log Explorer
+
+## Understand severity scoring
+
+It's important to have proper context behind how Datadog calculated a severity score for an indicator, so you can properly prioritize its investigation. For example, [IP addresses][5] can be volatile and require frequent reassessments as a result.
+
+In the IOC Explorer side panel, you can see the factors Datadog takes into account. It starts with a base score based on its classification, then raises or lowers the score based on additional factors:
+- **Classification**: The base score associated with the indicator's category and intent
+- **Corroboration**: Whether the indicator appears on multiple threat intelligent feeds
+- **Persistence**: How long threat intelligence feeds have been reporting on the indicator
+- **Hosting Type**: Used for IP and domain entity types; evaluates whether the hosting infrastructure is commonly used for attacks
+- **Signal Activity**: Whether Datadog has seen the evaluator in your environment
