Automatically notify stakeholders of Workbench insight progression by opening or updating cases, sending email notifications with AI-generated summaries, and collecting forensic evidence from impacted endpoints.

The Workbench Insight Progression Update playbook helps security teams streamline communication and accelerate response by automatically notifying stakeholders when Workbench insights are generated or updated. This playbook can open or update a case for the insight and send email notifications of insight information to specified recipients. Notifications and case updates can include a Generative AI-generated summary of the insight, providing clear and contextual information to support informed decision-making. You can configure the playbook to target specific insights based on score, attack phase, alert severity, or case status.
You must have Agentic SIEM & XDR entitlement enabled and the following required data sources configured to create Automated Response Playbooks: XDR Endpoint Sensor or XDR Email Sensor.

Procedure

  1. Go to Workflow and AutomationSecurity Playbooks.
  2. On the Playbooks tab, choose AddBuild manually.
  3. On the Playbook Settings panel, select the XDR detection type, specify a unique name for the playbook, and click Apply.
  4. On the Trigger Settings panel, select Automatic or manual (executed from Workbench) or Manual (executed from Workbench) for the trigger type and click Apply.
    • Automatic or manual (executed from Workbench): Workbench insights automatically trigger playbook execution. Each time an insight is generated or updated, the playbook is triggered. You can also manually trigger playbook execution from Workbench.
      Select Execute playbook automatically only during specified period and specify the days and time periods for automatic execution. You can specify a maximum of 10 sets of days and time periods in Trigger Settings.
    • Manual (executed from Workbench): You need to manually trigger playbook execution from Workbench.
  5. On the Target Settings panel, select and configure the Target for the playbook and click Apply.
    1. In the Target drop-down list, select Workbench insight.
    2. In the Alert severity within insight drop-down menu, select the severity level of alerts in the Workbench insights that need progression notification.
    3. If you want playbook actions to trigger only for Workbench insights within specific score range, select Filter insights by score, and select a range from the drop-down list or configure a custom range.
    4. If you want playbook actions to trigger only for Workbench insights associated with specific attack phase, select Filter insights by attach phase, and select attach phases from the drop-down list.
    1. Click the add node (plus_icon=e074b462-87df-4630-ab7f-552d598013d7.png) on the right of the Target node and click Condition.
    2. Create a condition setting by specifying the Parameter, Operator, and Value.
      Setting

      • Target endpoints must have TrendAI Vision One™ XDR for Endpoint (XDR Endpoint Sensor) installed.
    3. In Evidence type, select the types of evidence to collect.
      Select one or more evidence types to collect. Basic information is required and selected by default. The available options depend on the endpoint operating system.

    5. Click Apply.
    When the playbook runs, the Collect evidence action collects forensic evidence from the endpoints in the Workbench insight's impact scope. The collected evidence is uploaded to the Forensics app automatically.
    To review the results, open the playbook's execution results. The overall status shows Successful, Partially approved, or Unsuccessful. Select Check details to view the per-endpoint action status, and select View collection details in Forensics to open the collected evidence in the Forensics app.
    Each playbook execution automatically creates a Forensics workspace named Security Playbooks - execution-id. For insight-triggered runs, the workspace description also references the originating Workbench insight.
  9. Configure Else-If Conditions or Else Actions if necessary.
    1. Click plus_icon=e074b462-87df-4630-ab7f-552d598013d7.png below the Condition node and click Else-If Condition or Else Action.
    2. Configure a condition node by following Step 6, or configure an action node by following Step 7, Step 8, or Step 9.
    • Which nodes you can add varies depending on the preceding node. For example, an Action node can only be possibly followed by another Action node; a Condition node can be followed by an Action node or have an Else-If Condition or Else Action attached to it.
    • When a condition is false, the playbook performs the Else Action or checks if its Else-If Condition is met. If the Else-If Condition is met, the playbook continues to perform the corresponding Else Action.
    • Multiple Action nodes configured in a serial mode are taken sequentially.
  10. Enable the playbook by toggling the Enable control on.
  11. Click Save.
    The playbook appears on the Playbooks tab in the Security Playbooks app.
