Abstract
Systems and methods are described for conducting work flows by an SIEM device to carry out a complex task automatically. According to one embodiment, an SIEM device may receive a work flow template defining at an abstract level multiple security tasks that are performed by one or more security devices. The SIEM device starts a work flow instance by deriving the work flow instance from the work flow template and scheduling the security tasks to be performed by the one or more security devices or replacements thereof. The SIEM device then collects results of security tasks.
