Applying Automation to Detection, Investigation, and Response

Automating Threat Detection

Threat detection aims to quickly identify and
alert on security threats through continuous monitoring for signs of compromise and
malicious activity.

  • Deploying Detection Rules
  • Correlating Logs
  • Integrating Threat Intelligence
Automating Threat Investigation

Investigating a security incident requires analyzing its nature and impact, where using a security operations platform can expedite this process through automation and data integration, leading to quicker, more accurate assessments.

  • Building Consistent Analysis Methodology
  • Enriching Investigation
  • Summarizing Threat Analysis
Automating Threat Response

Following an investigation, analysts may execute actions like isolating systems or patching vulnerabilities to manage a security incident, or update protocols for benign findings, with automation key to reducing response times.

  • Improving Decision-Making
  • Running Remediation Playbooks
