Cyber Threat Analysis Interface with Automated Incident Logging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Cyber threat analysis and remediation processes often lack client access to information, leading to disconnection and inefficiencies, which can delay remediation and increase threat prevalence.
Innovation Solution
A computing platform generates a client interface with a time-series graphical representation of cyber threat investigation actions, allowing clients to view the incident response lifecycle, including alerts, enrichment, pattern matching, and remediation actions, through a user-friendly interface with automated progression and real-time updates.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If analysts manually record analysis and remediation action information, then clients can access this information, but the analysis process efficiency decreases and remediation is delayed
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically captures and records analysis information and remediation actions as they occur during the incident response process, without requiring analysts to manually document them beforehand. This preliminary automated capture ensures information availability while maintaining analysis efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates automated copies of the analysis workflow and remediation actions through interface monitoring and data collection mechanisms. These copies are then made accessible to clients through a dedicated portal, eliminating the need for manual information transcription while preserving the original analysis efficiency.
2Loss of information
If analysts manually record analysis and remediation action information, then clients can access this information, but remediation is delayed
Solution Approach 1:
The automated information collection system operates continuously throughout the incident response lifecycle, capturing remediation actions as they are performed without interruption. This continuous automated documentation ensures clients receive real-time information updates without causing delays in the remediation process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates real-time copies of remediation actions and makes them accessible to clients through the interface, eliminating the time loss associated with manual documentation while ensuring complete information availability.
3Productivity
If automated information collection is implemented, then analysis efficiency is maintained, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary automated information collection layer that sits between the analysis tools and the client interface. This intermediary automatically captures data from existing analysis workflows and presents it to clients, maintaining analysis efficiency while managing system complexity through a modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The automated information collection system is designed to work with multiple analysis tools and platforms through standardized interfaces, making it universally applicable across different incident response scenarios. This multi-functionality reduces overall system complexity by avoiding the need for separate custom solutions for each tool.

AI summary
Several features of cybersecurity frameworks are disclosed. In one example, a computing platform receives, from an enterprise user device, cyber threat investigation information indicating actions performed to address an identified threat for a client through an incident response lifecycle of the identified threat. This computing platform receives, from a client user device, a request for the cyber threat investigation information, and generates, using this cyber threat investigation information, a client interface, which includes a time-series graphical representation of the actions performed to address the identified threat and a play button, selection of which may cause automated progression through the time-series graphical representation within the client interface. This computing platform sends, to the client user device, the client interface and commands to display the client interface, which may cause the client user device to display the client interface. In another example, a computing platform may install incident response documentation software, configured to record actions performed at the computing platform to remediate threats through various incident response lifecycles. The computing platform may display a graphical user interface including one or more actions to be performed by an analyst, corresponding to the computing platform, to address a threat throughout an incident response lifecycle. The computing platform may receive, via the graphical user interface, user input corresponding to the one or more actions. The computing platform may automatically record, using the incident response documentation software, the user input. The computing platform may automatically compile, based on the user input, an incident response log. The computing platform may send, to a central threat framework platform, the incident response log, where additional graphical user interfaces are generated based on the incident response log.
