A security analyst is investigating a potential data exfiltration incident. The analyst has identified a suspicious IP address communicating with an internal server. To determine if this IP is associated with known malicious activity, the analyst queries a threat intelligence platform. The platform returns a confidence score of 85% and tags the IP as 'C2'. However, the analyst notices that the IP belongs to a cloud hosting provider and could be legitimate. What should the analyst do next to validate the threat intelligence?
