Risk and detection prioritization in Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) helps SOC analysts focus on the most critical threats. By assigning risk scores, integrating business context, and automating detection tuning, organizations can prioritize security incidents efficiently.
Methods to Improve Risk and Detection Prioritization:
Assigning Risk Scores to Assets and Events (A)
Uses Risk-Based Alerting (RBA) to prioritize high-risk activities based on behavior and history.
Helps SOC teams focus on true threats instead of isolated events.
Incorporating Business Context into Decisions (C)
Adds context from asset criticality, user roles, and business impact.
Ensures alerts are ranked based on their potential business impact.
Automating Detection Tuning (D)
Uses machine learning and adaptive response actions to reduce false positives.
Dynamically adjusts alert thresholds based on evolving threat patterns.
