General information

The Incidents section provides access to the functionality of UserGate SIEM's built-in IRP (Incident Response Platform) system. An incident is a cybersecurity event or a set of cybersecurity events needing investigation. UserGate SIEM allows you to customize the incident investigation process to the needs of a specific company. (For more details, see the section Incident Settings.)

The IRP system is tightly integrated with the SIEM system whose functionality is available in the Analytics section. In the Analytics section, you can set incident creation as a response action, thereby automating the process of cybersecurity incident creation (for more details about configuring response actions, see the Response Actions section).

Besides the automatic mode of creation, incidents can also be created manually by a cybersecurity engineer (for more details, see the section Creating Security Incidents).
