In this article, we will delve into a practical scenario where FortiSOAR, working alongside FortiSIEM, streamlines the triage of SIEM IPS alerts by correlating them with Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). This approach not only enhances efficiency but also conserves valuable analyst time and resources. This article explores how FortiSOAR effectively manages two distinct types of alerts – a true positive and a false positive – showcasing its capabilities in streamlining incident handling, optimizing analyst workflows, and enhancing overall security posture.
Alert 1 represents a true positive, a legitimate threat that requires immediate attention and response. FortiSOAR's multifaceted approach to handling such incidents is demonstrated through its use of indicators, correlations, and asset information. Additionally, it leverages MITRE information to provide valuable insights into the attack technique used and visualizes the incident's components through the Incident Graph. Finally, it guides analysts in remediating the incident with a "Block IP" playbook.
On the other hand, Alert 2 illustrates a false positive, an alert that, upon further investigation, is deemed non-threatening. Here, FortiSOAR showcases its efficiency in automated alert closure for low-risk alerts, based on predefined criteria. This automated process not only saves valuable analyst time but also ensures that resources are allocated to genuine threats, ultimately strengthening an organization's security posture.
By combining these showcases, it can be easily demonstrated how FortiSOAR streamlines the incident response process, from automated analysis and validation to efficient remediation and alert closure, by ultimately reducing the burden on security analysts.
