PROFILE

Greg Shepherd

Worked on the elastic/integrations repository to enhance threat intelligence workflows by addressing data accuracy and normalization challenges. Over two months, focused on fixing duplicate indicator counts in dashboards and standardizing threat hash representations during data ingestion. Leveraged skills in dashboarding, data aggregation, and integration development to ensure unique indicator counts were accurately reflected in the UI and to enforce lowercase normalization of threat hashes, reducing mismatches across sources. Utilized JSON and YAML to update ingestion pipelines and dashboard queries, aligning with ECS standards. Documented breaking changes and provided guidance to maintain reliable correlation rules, saved searches, and actionable detections.

February 2026 monthly summary for elastic/integrations. Delivered end-to-end improvement to threat intel ingestion by standardizing hash representation and enriching field mappings. Key outcomes include lowercase normalization of threat hashes (md5/sha1/sha256) and mapping the API-derived source size to threat.indicator.file.size, reducing cross-source mismatches and improving accuracy of correlation rules, saved searches, and dashboards. Notable note: breaking change for existing indexed documents requiring updates to saved searches/detection rules; aligns with ECS standards (elastic/ecs#2586). Demonstrated business value: more reliable threat intel integration, improved data quality, and actionable detections.
