  • Patent number: 12547727
    Abstract: Techniques are described for generating visualizations of security framework information (such as, e.g., MITRE ATT&CK® information) displayed in connection with notable events detected by a data intake and query system. Data intake and query systems, SIEM systems, and other applications often provide user interfaces that display detected occurrences of incidents, sometimes referred to as “notable events,” within users' information technology (IT) environments. A data intake and query system is described herein that is capable of identifying notable events, assigning tactic and technique information to notable events (and optionally to associated risk objects), and causing display of tactic and technique visualizations which are intuitive and customizable, provide ready access to relevant documentation, and follow a format with which security analysts are familiar.

  • Patent number: 11768666
    Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling users to add custom code function blocks and multi-prompt blocks to customizable playbooks that can be executed by an orchestration, automation, and response (OAR) platform. At a high level, a playbook comprises computer program code and possibly other data that can be executed by an OAR platform to carry out an automated set of actions. A playbook is comprised of one or more functions or codeblocks, where each codeblock contains program code that performs defined functionality when the codeblock is encountered during execution of the playbook of which it is a part. For example, a first codeblock may implement an action that is performed relative to one or more IT assets, another codeblock might filter data generated by the first codeblock in some manner, and so forth.
