The queue

Alerts shows open alerts for the organizations in your scope. Switch between the list and the kanban board (new, assigned, investigating, review, closed). The list refreshes on the interval set in your personalisation, with a countdown you can pause.

Columns include severity, detection, entity, ATT&CK technique, stage, assignee, age and the SLA column: time remaining to acknowledge or resolve, coloured as it approaches the target. Sort by SLA when the queue is deep.

Quick preview

ResponseActions staged by the playbook and actions you can take on the host.

Working an alert

  • Assign to yourself (a). This acknowledges the alert and stops the acknowledge clock.
  • Investigate: read the verdict and its evidence grade, look at the graph, open the raw events.
  • Act: confirm staged responses or run your own from the Response tab.
  • Disposition: close as benign, false positive, expected, or malicious; or escalate to case (e). Escalation carries notes, events, hosts and indicators into the case with no re-entry.

Closing stops the resolve clock. Re-detections of the same entity in the same window never reopen or overwrite a closed alert.

Bulk actions

Select rows with x to assign, tag, change stage or close in bulk. Bulk closes require a disposition and are audited individually.
