ThreatConnect Query Language (TQL)

Overview

In ThreatConnect^®, you can build structured queries with a SQL-like query language called ThreatConnect Query Language (TQL) to perform highly targeted searches of your data. A TQL query includes a parameter name, an operator, and a value or list of values, and you can combine multiple queries with parentheses and AND/OR logic.

Use cases for TQL in ThreatConnect include the following:

• Searching and filtering threat intelligence data with the advanced search feature on the Browse screen
• Visualizing data with Query cards in custom dashboards
• Creating associations between a Group and objects returned via a TQL query
• Configuring query-based Chart and Table sections in reports and report templates
• Selecting specific Groups to add as analysis layers to standard ATT&CK^® views in the ATT&CK Visualizer
• Filtering data in responses returned from requests to the ThreatConnect v3 API
