    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein enhances how security actions are implemented within a computing environment. In one example, a method of implementing security actions for a computing environment comprising a plurality of computing assets includes identifying a security action in a command language for the computing environment. The method further provides identifying one or more computing assets related to the security action, and obtaining hardware and software characteristics for the one or more computing assets. The method also includes translating the security action in the command language to one or more action procedures based on the hardware and software characteristics, and initiating implementation of the one or more action procedures in the one or more computing assets.

    Abstract: The technology presented herein improves incident handling in an IT environment. In a particular example, a method provides identifying a first incident in the IT environment. From incident handling information that indicates how a plurality of previous incidents were handled by one or more users, the method provides identifying first information of the incident handling information corresponding to one or more first previous incidents of the plurality of previous incidents that are similar to the first incident. The method further provides determining a suggested course of action from the first information and presenting the suggested course of action to a user of the information technology environment.

    Abstract: Described herein are improvements for responding to incidents in an information technology (IT) environment. In one example, a method includes, in an incident response system, receiving authentication information for use by a first component for responding to an incident in an information technology (IT) environment. The method further includes encrypting the authentication information and storing the authentication information in the incident response system along with encrypted parameters for operating the first component. In the incident response system, upon determining that the first component requires the authentication information for an interaction, the method provides retrieving the authentication information and providing the authentication information to the first component.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein provide for managing service level agreements (SLAs) for security incidents in a computing environment. In one example, an advisement system identifies a rule set for a security incident based on enrichment information obtained for the security incident, wherein the rule set is associated with action recommendations to be taken against the incident. The advisement system further identifies a default SLA for the security incident based on the rule set, and obtains environmental characteristics related to the security incident. Based on the environmental characteristics, the advisement system determines a modified SLA for the security incident.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein provide security actions based on the current state of a security threat. In one example, a method of operating an advisement system in a computing environment with a plurality of computing assets includes identifying a security threat within the computing environment. The method further includes, in response to identifying the security threat, obtaining state information for the security threat within the computing environment, and determining a current state for the security threat within the computing environment. The method also provides obtaining enrichment information for the security threat and determining one or more security actions for the security threat based on the enrichment information and the current state for the security threat.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein provide enhancements for implementing security actions in a computing environment. In one example, a method of operating an advisement system to provide actions in a computing environment includes identifying a security incident in the computing environment, identifying a criticality rating for the asset, and obtaining enrichment information for the security incident from one or more internal or external sources. The method also provides identifying a severity rating for the security incident based on the enrichment information, and determining one or more security actions based on the enrichment information. The method further includes identifying effects of the one or more security actions on operations of the computing environment based on the criticality rating and the severity rating, and identifying a subset of the one or more security actions to respond to the security incident based on the effects.

    Abstract: Described herein are improvements for generating courses of action for an information technology (IT) environment. In one example, a method includes determining that a decision step occurs between a one step and two or more other steps of a first course of action associated with an incident type in the information technology environment. The method further includes determining possible outputs of the one step that, when used as input to the decision step, cause the first course of action to proceed from the decision step to respective steps of the two or more other steps. The method also includes incorporating logic into the decision step to direct the course of action to respective steps of the two or more other steps based on one or more of the possible outputs.
