Use CAse
Automated Incident Response Communication
Smart SOAR users can leverage Slack to automate the initial stages of communication during incident response. A Smart SOAR playbook can identify the relevant team members and create a dedicated channel for an incident. The playbook will automatically invite the team members and generate an initial message that summarizes the incident thus far. During the investigation, Slack is used to send updates to the team members for things like status changes.
- Share important files via Slack, such as incident reports and forensic data.
- Pull replies into Smart SOAR to retain threaded discussions on complex issues.
- Retrieve previous discussions to keep new participants up to date.
Use Case
Post-Incident Review
Smart SOAR leverages Slack for automated post-incident reviews, by summarizing the conversations in an incident’s channel. The Smart SOAR playbook reviews the entire conversation history for lessons learned, gathers information on participants, sends messages summarizing incident resolution and next steps, and archives the channel for future reference.
- Automate the retention of knowledge gained through investigations
- Acknowledge participants for contributions
- Keep investigators focused on the incident, without having to worry about recordkeeping and reporting
