Configure a Carbon Black Response device to pull IOCs

After a device has been added to the Threat Command virtual appliance, you must enable the pulling of IOCs by the Carbon Black Response device from Threat Command.

Configuration for on-premises devices

When configuring an on-premises device, it is important to know which version of the Threat Command virtual appliance is running in your environment. This will affect which Rapid7 URL is displayed in the Device Details screen and also which URL to copy into the device management console.
