Difficulties arise if the given data is classified in multiple platform modules, each requiring a different subscription. When tracking an indicator of compromise and wanting to see what actors it relates to and further understand the actor, you often end up with one side of the data or the other. IOCs with little campaign context or actor details with no tactical data.
