SOC Investigation Automation Platform
Automated investigation workflows across security tooling
Overview
A platform concept designed to receive alerts from service-desk or security systems and automatically execute investigation workflows across connected security tools.
The Problem
Analysts often repeat the same enrichment and investigation steps by hand for every alert, checking the same handful of tools, pulling the same context, which is slow and inconsistent across a team.
The Approach
A queue-driven platform that ingests alerts, keeps customer/tenant data separated, and runs automated enrichment and investigation workflows across connected tools such as SIEM, EDR and firewall systems, before handing a structured conclusion back to the analyst.
Where It Stands
Still at the concept and architecture stage; this hasn't moved into implementation yet. The queue design and per-tool integration approach are defined as the starting point for when development begins.
Architecture
- Investigation queue with per-customer separation
- Automated enrichment workflows against connected security tools
- Alert status tracking through the investigation lifecycle
- Analyst conclusion capture and audit trail
- Integration points with service-desk workflows
Key Features
Lessons & Challenges
Designed with connectors in mind for Elastic, CrowdStrike, Microsoft security products and firewall/SIEM platforms, the integration layer is built to be extended per-tool rather than hard-coded to one vendor.
