Why This Matters

What It Is

Automated management function supporting Cybersecurity Operations (SecOps). Part of the Cybersecurity Operations (SecOps) capability.

Current State

(Traditional)

Threat Intelligence Gathering: Collect data from various sources (threat feeds, internal logs, etc.).
Incident Detection: Use SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) tools to monitor and analyze security alerts.
Incident Response: Investigate alerts, determine if they are true positives or false positives.
Containment: If a threat is confirmed, isolate affected systems to prevent further damage.
Eradication: Remove the threat from the environment.
Recovery: Restore systems to normal operation and ensure they are secure.
Post-Incident Review: Conduct a retrospective analysis to improve future responses.
Reporting: Document findings and actions taken for compliance and future reference.

Characteristics

• SIEM (e.g., Splunk, IBM QRadar)
• Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools (e.g., CrowdStrike, Carbon Black)
• Threat Intelligence Platforms (e.g., Recorded Future, ThreatConnect)
• Ticketing Systems (e.g., ServiceNow, JIRA)
• Collaboration Tools (e.g., Slack, Microsoft Teams)
• Documentation Tools (e.g., Confluence, SharePoint)

Pain Points

⚠ Manual data entry is time-consuming
⚠ Process is error-prone
⚠ Limited visibility into process status
⚠ Reactive rather than proactive approach to threat management.
⚠ Limited visibility across all endpoints and networks.
⚠ Dependence on manual processes for incident response, leading to delays.
⚠ Difficulty in maintaining up-to-date threat intelligence.

Future State

(Agentic)

Threat Intelligence Gathering: The Threat Intelligence Agent collects and analyzes data from various sources.
Incident Detection: The Incident Detection Agent monitors alerts from SIEM tools, reducing false positives through machine learning.
Incident Response: Upon confirmation of a threat, the Incident Response Agent automates containment and coordinates with recovery efforts.
Post-Incident Review: The Post-Incident Review Agent compiles findings and suggests improvements.
Reporting: The Orchestrator ensures documentation is completed and shared with relevant stakeholders.

Characteristics

• System data
