Platform · Incident Response

From alert to closed case, with a process you can prove.

When an alert becomes an incident, ArmorPoint runs it through a structured, six-phase response workflow, tracks it against your SLAs, and produces an audit-ready record, so response is repeatable and defensible, not improvised.

The shift

Incident response should not be improvised under pressure.

Improvised response

A chat thread, a few screenshots, and hope.

  • • Steps get skipped under pressure, and no one writes them down.
  • • Who owns it, and how long they have, is unclear.
  • • When the auditor or the board asks what happened, there is no record.
ArmorPoint

One structured lifecycle, every time.

  • • A guided six-phase workflow walks every response, start to finish.
  • • Severity, owner, and SLA are tracked from the first minute.
  • • Every action is captured into an audit-ready report.
What makes it different

A built-in six-phase workflow for every incident.

Most teams respond from memory and a chat thread. ArmorPoint walks every incident through the same six phases, Detection to Post Incident, capturing the source, the scope, the containment steps, and the lessons learned along the way, so nothing is skipped and every response is defensible.

How it works

From escalation to audit report, in five moves.

Escalate

Open the incident

Created manually or auto-escalated from one or more correlated alerts.

Triage

Set the stakes

Severity, impact, and priority are set, and the SLA clock starts.

Respond

Work the phases

The six-phase workflow guides the team, capturing actions and evidence at each step.

Track

Move it forward

A Kanban and list board shows every incident's owner, state, and SLA at a glance.

Report

Prove the response

Generate an IR audit report summarizing the full response across all six phases.

What it does

Coordinated response, start to finish.

Incident lifecycle

  • • Active, assigned, watchlist, and closed states
  • • Kanban and list views
  • • Assign, watchlist, and escalate
Every incident in one place, with its state.

Six-phase IR workflow

  • • Detection through post-incident
  • • Structured fields and documented actions per phase
  • • A timeline of every step
The same guided response, every time.

Priority & SLA tracking

  • • Severity, impact, and priority
  • • SLA tracked per incident
  • • See what is at risk before it slips
See what is slipping before it does.

Linked alerts & vulnerabilities

  • • Every alert that makes up the incident
  • • Related vulnerabilities and entities
  • • The AI triage verdict for context
The full picture, already assembled.

Investigation Guide

  • • Step-by-step guidance on the incident
  • • Keeps responders aligned on next actions
  • • Built into the incident, not a separate doc
Guidance where the work happens.

IR audit reporting

  • • One report across all six phases
  • • A defensible record for auditors and leadership
  • • Resolution type and synopsis on close
A record you can hand to anyone.
Connect the dots

One incident, and the whole picture around it.

Open the Correlation Map to see how an incident connects to the related alerts, observable IPs, and accounts around it, then pivot to the built-in Investigation Guide for the next steps. The context lives inside the incident, not across five tools.

Hover a node to light up its connections.

What you can do:
  • See every alert, vulnerability, and entity tied to the incident
  • Trace the related accounts and observable IPs in one map
  • Pull the AI triage verdict in for context as you investigate
  • Follow the Investigation Guide step by step inside the incident
  • Capture every action into the IR audit report

Outcomes

Faster response you can stand behind.

The analyst

A workflow, not a blank page.

Know the next step, with the linked alerts and context already in front of you.

The security lead

Nothing slips, nothing is improvised.

Every incident follows the same defensible process, tracked against SLA.

Leadership

A record you can hand to anyone.

An audit-ready report for the board, the auditor, or the cyber insurer.
