Knowledge Assist - Triage of Sophisticated Threat Alerts
The Business Problem
A high-severity IDS/IPS alert fires - "Cobalt Strike" activity detected. The analyst needs to understand the threat, assess impact, and determine response - immediately. Traditional workflow: search multiple documentation sources, correlate with environment specifics, and reference version-specific behavior. Time: 30-60 minutes.
The investigation requires simultaneous knowledge of threat intelligence documentation, vDefend 4.2.x behavior differences, the current London workload topology, and the correct response procedures for this specific environment. No single documentation source contains all of this.
How Zenera Solves It

Intelligent Assist execution:
- 1Threat corpus retrieval: Retrieved Cobalt Strike threat intelligence from documentation and KB articles indexed across the security knowledge base
- 2Environment correlation: Applied London workload topology context to assess lateral movement exposure specific to this segment layout
- 3Version-aware guidance: Applied vDefend 4.2.1-specific behavior (KB#NSX-2847) rather than returning generic advice
- 4Synthesized response: Combined threat intelligence, environment topology, and version-specific guidance into a single prioritized remediation plan
