Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for incident response are disclosed. In one aspect, a system includes a cognitive engine that is configured to receive data identifying actions performed in response to a computer security threat. Based on the data identifying the actions performed in response to the computer security threat, the system generates one or more workflows and a particular workflow that are associated with the computer security threat and that each identify one or more actions to remediate the computer security threat. The system also includes a scoring system and event triage engine that is configured to analyze the actions of the one or more workflows and of the particular workflow, and based on analyzing the actions of the one or more workflows and of the particular workflow, select a primary workflow as a workflow to respond to the computer security threat. The system also includes an automated incident investigation engine that is configured to receive an alert that identifies the computer security threat, and process the computer security threat according to the primary workflow that is associated with the computer security threat and that identifies one or more actions to remediate the computer security threat.

Incident triage scoring engine

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for incident response are disclosed. In one aspect, a computer-implemented method includes receiving data identifying two or more groups of actions performed to remediate a computer security threat. The method includes determining first unique paths from a first action of each of the two or more groups of actions to a second action of each of the two or more groups of actions, and determining second unique paths from the second action of each of the two or more groups of actions to a third action of each of the two or more groups of actions. The method also includes combining common paths among the first unique paths and the second unique paths, identifying one of the common paths that appears most frequently, and determining a core path that includes a subset of the actions of the two or more groups of actions based on the one of the common paths that appears most frequently.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for determining threat data contextualization. One of the methods includes receiving data that identifies assets, attributes for each of the assets, and respective relevance ratings for the assets, receiving threat data that identifies vulnerabilities of particular attributes, determining vulnerability trends for the particular attributes, determining whether an attribute is one of the particular attributes identified in the threat data, updating the relevance ratings of the attribute using the vulnerability trends for the attribute, for each of two or more vulnerabilities identified in the threat data: determining the particular attributes affected by the vulnerability, and determining a score for the vulnerability using the respective relevance ratings for the particular attributes affected by the vulnerability, generating a ranking of the vulnerabilities using the corresponding scores, and generating instructions for presentation of a user interface that identifies each of the vulnerabilities.
