Short answer

How can I triage QRadar offenses using my AI?

Your AI client pulls offense lists and specific event details to help you decide what's a real threat. You then tell the AI to update the offense status to close it or escalate it. This keeps your triage workflow inside your chat window.

Triage outcomes

Where every issue lands.

The AI moves data between your chat and QRadar to keep your incident response organized.

LISTING

Identify active threats

The AI pulls current offense lists so you can see what needs attention. You get a clear view of active security events immediately.

ANALYSIS

Deep dive into events

Your agent fetches granular details for any specific offense you're investigating. This provides the context needed to spot patterns or anomalies.

ACTION

Update offense status

Once you decide on a course of action, the AI updates the offense in QRadar. This keeps your dashboard accurate without manual clicking.

HUMAN

Final decision making

The AI handles the data retrieval and status updates, but you make the call on whether an event is a false positive or a true incident.

The workflow

What your AI does when an offense arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your security dashboard and your conversation.
