Generate closure notes for a security incident with Now Assist for Security Incident Response

Automatically generate a draft of the closure notes for a security incident when you close it. The draft is editable and will be reviewed prior to closing the security incident, and it can be used or modified as needed. Closure notes provide information about the resolution of a security incident to other analysts, managers, and key stakeholders.

Before you begin

Roles required: sn_si.analyst, sn_si.manager, or sn_si.basic

Note:

If the Close code or Close notes fields are already updated for a security incident, Now Assist will not modify these fields, regardless of the incident’s current state. To enable Now Assist to update these fields, ensure that both the Close Code and Closure Notes fields are left blank.

Procedure

  1. In the legacy Core UI, navigate to All > Security Incident > Incidents and open a security incident that is assigned to you.

  2. Alternatively, navigate to All > Security Incident > Security Incident Response Workspace and open a security incident that is assigned to you.

  3. Close the security incident.
