4.1 Understanding an Incident
In Sentinel, a set of related events (for example, a possible attack) can be grouped together form an
Incident. An Incident in “open” state alerts you to investigate, resolve, and close the incident. For
example, the resolution to an attack might be to close a port, block a source IP, or rebuild a machine.
Incidents can be created:

Manually, by a security analyst monitoring incoming data or querying past data.

Automatically, as a result of a correlation rule being triggered. For more information, see
“Correlation Tab” section.
In the Incidents Tab, you can:
 Manage Incident Views

Manage Incidents

controls to enable/disable access to the features of Incidents for a user.
