Are you drowning in a sea of security notifications? Do your analysts spend more time sifting through low-level logs than investigating real threats? This workflow transforms n8n into an autonomous SOC (Security Operations Center) Analyst , tackling alert fatigue head-on.
Leveraging the NixGuard Security RAG connector , this workflow automates the entire alert triage process. It ingests raw security events (from sources like Wazuh , your SIEM, or EDR), uses AI to analyze and assign a priority, and then intelligently routes the alert to the correct Slack channel.
How It Works:
-
Ingest & Filter: The workflow runs on a schedule, fetching all recent security alerts. It first performs a basic filtering to isolate events that meet a minimum severity threshold (eg, level 7+).
-
AI Analysis & Prioritization: The aggregated high-severity alerts are then sent to the AI with a specific prompt, asking it to analyze the situation and return a structured JSON object containing a single, overall priority (
Critical , High , Info ) and a concise summary.
-
Intelligent Routing: A Switch node reads the AI-assigned priority and routes the notification to the appropriate destination. Critical alerts go to your
#security-incident-response channel, high-priority alerts to #security-investigations , and informational ones to #security-logs .
Key Features & Benefits:
-
Eliminate Alert Fatigue: Drastically reduce the noise by having AI pre-process and categorize alerts before they hit your team.
-
Automate SOC Tier 1 Triage: Free up your human analysts from repetitive triage tasks so they can focus on high-value investigation and threat hunting.
-
Faster Incident Response: Route critical alerts to the right people in real-time, cutting down on crucial response time.
-
Consistent Prioritization: Use AI to ensure a consistent, unbiased approach to alert prioritization, 24/7.
-
Smart Routing Logic: Go beyond simple keyword matching. The Switch node ensures alerts are delivered to the team best equipped to handle them based on AI-assessed severity.
