  • Patent number: 11882135
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a machine-learning based approach for dynamically generating incident-specific playbooks for a security orchestration and automated response (SOAR) platform are provided. The SOAR platform captures information regarding execution of a sequence of actions performed by analysts responsive to a first incident of a first type. The captured information is fed into a machine-learning model. When a second incident, observed by the SOAR platform, is similar in nature to the first incident or the first type a recommended sequence of actions is generated based on the machine-learning model for use by an analyst in connection with responding to the second incident. In response to rejection of the recommended sequence by the analyst, revising the recommended sequence based on input provided by the analyst and storing the revised recommendation sequence in a form of a revised playbook for response to subsequent incidents that are similar to the second incident.

  • Publication number: 20210297427
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating a mind map approach to a SOAR threat investigation are provided. A SOAR platform operatively coupled with a Security Operation Center (SOC) of a monitored network receives alert data pertaining to an incident. A mind map view is generated within a graphical user interface. The mind map view includes a primary node corresponding to the incident, one or more field nodes associated with the primary node, one or more action nodes based at least on one of the one or more field nodes. Each of the action nodes is associated with one or more dynamic actions selectable by an analyst. Responsive to selection of a dynamic action, at least one field node or a suggested actions associated with a corresponding action node is suggested by a machine-learning engine based on the selection. The mind map view is updated in real time to include the suggestion.
