How to build socio-organizational information from remote IP addresses to enrich security analysis?

There is a constant threat of having our computing systems under attack. Information regarding the origins of the traffic we receive can be valuable. Currently, the AS-number and the localization are the most commonly used IP-related information to characterize an attack.In this paper, we propose expanding knowledge about a remote IP’s owner to improve defensive reaction effectiveness and obtain in-depth analyzes of attacker profiles. We introduce the enrichment with socio-organizational information (such as organization type, activity field, etc.) about the entities owning the IP in addition to infrastructural information. This integration is driven by combining RDAP and Wikidata. We demonstrate that this proposal is promising.
