    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 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: Systems, methods, and software described herein provide action recommendations to administrators of a computing environment based on effectiveness of previously implemented actions. In one example, an advisement system identifies a security incident for an asset in the computing environment, and obtains enrichment information for the incident. Based on the enrichment information a rule set and associated recommended security actions are identified for the incident. Once the recommended security actions are identified, a subset of the action recommendations are organized based on previous action implementations in the computing environment, and the subset is provided to an administrator for selection.

    Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to improve incident response in an information technology (IT) environment. In one example, an incident service executes a course of action with one or more actions to respond to an incident in the IT environment. During execution, the incident service identifies a request to obtain data from an external service outside of the IT environment and determines whether the data is cached in a data store for the IT environment. If cached, the incident service obtains the data for the action from the data store. In contrast, if the data is not cached, the incident service obtains the data for the action from the external service.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein provide for identifying recommended feature sets for new security applications. In one example, a method of providing recommended feature sets for a new security application includes identifying a request for the new security application, and determining a classification for the new security application. The method further provides identifying related applications to the new security application based on the classification, and identifying a feature set for the new security application based on features provided in the related applications.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein provide for responding to security threats in a computing environment based on the classification of computing assets in the environment. In one example, a method of operating an advisement computing system includes identifying a security threat for an asset in the computing environment, and identifying a classification for the asset in relation to other assets within the computing environment. The method further provides determining a rule set for the security threat based on the classification for the asset and initiating a response to the security threat based on the rule set.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein provide for validating security actions before they are implemented in a computing network. In one example, a computing network may include a plurality of computing assets that provide a variety of different operations. During the operations of the network, administration systems may generate and provide security actions to prevent or mitigate the effect of a security threat on the network. However, prior to implementing the security actions within the network, computing assets may exchange security parameters with the administration systems to verify that the security actions are authentic.
