Key Features
- Case Structure: Each security case contains a header section for identification, an additional details section for analysis insights, and a case artifacts section for related records.
- Case Header: Identifies and classifies cases with a unique number using the SECC prefix.
- Additional Case Details: Provides insights into the case's current status, work notes, and recorded activities.
- Case Artifacts: Contains tabs for information related to the case, enabling searches, record exclusions, and viewing related details.
- Annotations: Analysts can add notes to specific artifacts to enhance the investigation process.
- Search Tools: Analysts can run sightings searches on observables and search for security artifacts within a case.
Key Outcomes
By utilizing Security Case Management, analysts can efficiently gather and analyze information related to security threats, assess potential risks, and maintain a comprehensive record of their investigative processes. This structured approach facilitates better decision-making and enhances overall security postures within the organization.
Security Case Management provides a means for security analysts who are engaged in threat hunting to gather information on suspicious activity in their environment. Case-related records, such as security incidents, observables, CIs, and affected users can be added to cases to accommodate broad and specific analysis.
With the ability to easily pivot through the records and related information, analysts can assess whether they are facing a targeted campaign, advanced persistent threat, and so forth.
Security cases can be created from various sources on your instance, including Security Case Management, Security Incident Response, and Threat Intelligence. You can also create cases from configuration items and affected users in the Configuration Items [cmdb.ci] and Users [sys.user] tables, respectively. After cases have been created, each of these sources can be also used to add valuable analysis resources to existing cases.
Each security case consists of three main sections, a header section, a section with additional case details, and a case artifacts section containing a collection of records that aid in building an argument for identifying and dealing with particular threats.
Case header
The case header provides basic information used to identify and classify the security case. The case number uses the SECC prefix.
Additional case details
The Additional Case Details section provides information specific to the analysis that has already been performed on the case, including its current state, and work notes and activities recorded for the case.
Case artifacts
The Case Artifacts section provides a series of tabs of information contained in the security case.
You can perform searches within the contents of each tab. You can also exclude specific records you have already evaluated as being safe or which are of no value in your investigation. The excluded records are not deleted, but are hidden from view. If needed, you can view excluded records and add them back.
