Detection Webhooks: Automate and Streamline Incident Response Workflows with Real-Time Notifications

Fast incident response is key to mitigating potential damage. Every second counts, and gathering, assessing, and acting on critical information quickly can make all the difference. That's where automation comes in, allowing action to be taken immediately without waiting for human intervention. The Cado Platform now supports Detection Webhooks, designed to help you automate and streamline incident response workflows with real-time notifications.

Webhooks in the Cado platform 

What are Detection Webhooks?

Detection Webhooks enable you to receive real-time notifications whenever a detection event occurs within the Cado Platform. These webhooks can be configured to trigger actions, allowing your Security Operations Center (SOC) to stay immediately informed about incidents and integrate this data into other tools seamlessly. With Detection Webhooks, you can route alerts directly to your incident response systems, whether that's a ticketing platform, messaging service, or custom-built incident management tool.

Automate and Streamline Your Incident Response

Detection Webhooks help security teams operate more effectively and reduce the manual workload. With real-time notifications, SOC analysts can automatically initiate response workflows without the need for constant monitoring of the Cado Platform dashboard. Here are just a few ways this feature can make life easier:

• Automated Alerts: With webhooks in place, critical events are pushed directly to your chosen communication or ticketing platforms, like Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Jira. This ensures that relevant teams are informed without delay.
• Orchestrated Responses: Automation means actions can be taken instantly. For example, a webhook could trigger a script that quarantines an affected instance, kicks off a forensic acquisition, or integrates with your SIEM to enrich event data.
• Reduced Response Time: By removing the need for manual event triage and alert creation, response times can be drastically reduced. This allows your team to focus on analysis and remediation rather than administrative tasks.

Real-Time Incident Response and Actionable Insights

Detection Webhooks help facilitate real-time responses to threats. The speed at which threats are recognized and acted upon can be the determining factor in containing an incident effectively. By integrating detection alerts into other systems, such as orchestration tools or runbooks, you create a cohesive environment where information flows freely, and response actions are automatically carried out.

For example, imagine you receive an alert about a suspicious login event within a cloud environment. A Detection Webhook can trigger an automated investigation, collecting necessary data for forensic analysis and updating your incident response team in real time. This integration ensures no delay between detection and action, empowering your team to move faster.

Example Scenarios: From Alerts to Action

Detection Webhooks are versatile. Here are a few practical scenarios illustrating their use:

1. Automated Threat Containment: The Cado Platform detects a known ransomware strain in your cloud environment. A webhook can instantly trigger a script to quarantine the affected machine, preventing lateral movement.
2. Ticket Creation for Incident Tracking: When suspicious behavior is detected, a webhook can automatically create a ticket in your incident management system. This allows your team to track and prioritize the investigation.
3. Integration with SIEM and Enrichment: Webhooks can feed detection data into your SIEM, enriching the data already collected. This additional context can help correlate events, making your security insights more comprehensive.
