4.2 Data Processing: Prepare

After an event is collected, the Intelligence Pipeline uses machine learning (ML) to automatically parse the information and extract more than a dozen types of Observables for further processing.
The Pipeline automatically cleans up the data to make these Observables comparable across all of your intelligence sources.

Details
Lowercase Conversion: All Observables are converted to lowercase to increase the accuracy of correlating them across Reports and Enclaves.
Defanging: Text is added to the Observable so that it does not appear as a live link in any reports. For example, the URL acmelimited.com would be modified to display as acmelimited[.]com.
Disambiguation: The Pipeline uses context to determine if the Observable is properly categorized..
