SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It accelerates Azure security incident response by turning Defender alerts into a structured triage, investigation, containment, and escalation workflow with auditable documentation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Triage severity and drive escalation: Classifies incidents into P0–P3 (with P0 forcing immediate CISO notification) based on impacted accounts/resources and alert context.
  • Correlated investigation workflow: Pulls Defender alerts and relevant sign-in logs to build a timeline and determine likely initial access, lateral movement, persistence, and impact.
  • Containment recommendations with approval gates: Recommends specific containment actions (e.g., revoke sessions, remove MFA methods, isolate devices) while explicitly requiring IT Manager approval for execution.
  • Incident record creation and post-incident review guidance: Persists an incident record via MCP tools and outlines follow-up review timing for P0/P1.

Quick Start

Use incident-response with the alert ID or compromised user scope, for example: "Run incident-response for alert 12345 to triage, investigate, recommend containment, and create the incident record."

FAQPage Schema
How do I triage Azure Defender security alerts for suspected account compromise?

Triage Azure Defender security alerts by classifying incident severity into P0–P3 categories based on impacted accounts, resources, and alert context, with P0 forcing immediate CISO notification. This workflow correlates sign-in activity and related alerts into a structured incident timeline.

What is the process to investigate an Azure security incident and build a timeline?

Investigating an Azure security incident involves pulling Defender alerts and relevant sign-in logs to build a correlated timeline. This timeline helps determine likely initial access, lateral movement, persistence, and overall impact of the suspected compromise.

How do I get containment recommendations for active Azure security threats?

Containment recommendations for active Azure security threats include specific actions like revoking sessions, removing MFA methods, and isolating devices. These actions explicitly require IT Manager approval before execution to ensure proper governance.

Can I automate incident record creation and remediation documentation for Azure Defender alerts?

You can automate incident record creation and remediation documentation for Azure Defender alerts using MCP tool support. This persists auditable incident records and outlines follow-up post-incident review timing for P0 and P1 severity levels.

Do I need MCP tool support to escalate and contain Azure Defender incidents?

You need MCP tool support to escalate and contain Azure Defender incidents because the workflow requires tools to list and fetch alerts and sign-in logs and to create auditable incident records while enforcing P0 escalation and IT-approval gates.

When should I trigger immediate escalation for an Azure security incident?

Trigger immediate escalation for an Azure security incident when triage classification identifies a P0 severity level based on impacted accounts and alert context, which forces immediate CISO notification and initiates containment recommendations.
