Enhancing Compliance Alert Handling in Cortex XSOAR

Maintaining compliance with regulations and security standards is paramount for organizations in today's dynamic and ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape. However, simply receiving alerts about compliance issues is often not enough to effectively mitigate risks. To address this challenge, we are thrilled to introduce an enhanced use case for handling compliance alerts from Prisma Cloud Compute in Cortex XSOAR.

Introducing Prisma Cloud Compute - Compliance Alert v2

The current use case for handling compliance alerts from Prisma Cloud Compute focuses on mapping limited data to incident fields. While this provides a basic understanding of the issue, it falls short of providing comprehensive visibility into affected resources and the underlying causes of the compliance issues.

What's New in This Enhancement?

1. Enriched Data for Affected Resources

The enhanced use case goes beyond basic data mapping by providing detailed information about affected resources such as images, hosts, and containers. This includes resource names, cloud metadata, enriched compliance issue data (such as severity), and more.

In addition to the enrichment, it also includes an optional section for creating or updating external tickets for each compliance issue.

2. Dedicated Layout for Enhanced Visibility

To aid analyst decision-making, Prisma Cloud Compute - Compliance Alert v2 features a dedicated layout with multiple tabs:

Host/Image/Container Compliance Information: This tab showcases enriched compliance data for the respective resource type, along with action buttons for further insights and automated actions:

  • Enrich Compliance Issues: Gain deeper insights into compliance issues by retrieving the actual causes for specific resources.
  • Send Compliance Issues via Email: Easily share enriched compliance reports with optional filtering based on issue severity.

The playbook, "Prisma Cloud Compute - Compliance Alert v2," is divided into three sub-playbooks, each tailored to handle a specific resource type: host, image, and container. Data enrichment and external ticket creation occur within each sub-playbook, providing a streamlined and comprehensive approach to compliance alert handling.

A dedicated sub-playbook for each resource type:
