About This Automation

Security incidents require rapid response to minimize damage and containment time. Manual triage, identity verification, and decision-making across multiple tools create delays and inconsistent handling.

Automated incident response enriches alerts with user context, assigns risk severity, and recommends containment actions in minutes. The team focuses on exceptions and escalations instead of routine alert processing.

Key features
Enrich alerts with user identity, login history, and device fingerprint data automatically
Assign risk severity and recommend containment actions based on threat rules
Route critical incidents to human review; auto-contain low-risk alerts
Document incident details and actions in a centralized log without manual entry
Notify affected users and managers with context and next steps via email or chat

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Security Alert Receivedtrigger

Alert fires or and is routed to the automation platform via webhook or API polling.

2. Enrich Alert with Context

Queries and to gather user identity, recent login history, device info, and access patterns. Compares against baseline behavior.

3. Assess Risk Level

Evaluates enriched data against threat rules (impossible travel, brute force, unusual file access) and assigns severity (low, medium, high, critical).

4. Auto-Contain or Escalate?

If severity is critical and threat is confirmed, proceed to auto-containment. If medium or uncertain, escalate to human review.

5. Execute Containment

Automatically revoke active sessions, reset password, or lock account based on threat type and severity rules.

6. Notify User and Manager

Send templated message to user and manager with incident summary, actions taken, and next steps.

7. Log Incident to Sheet

Create incident record with timestamp, user, alert type, severity, actions taken, and resolution time.

8. Post to Security Channel

Send structured incident summary security channel for team visibility and audit trail.
