Atlas Enhances Its Response Customizations for Customers to Leverage AI Across All SOC Roles

Atlas now executes automated response actions the moment a Security Finding contains threats, based on your defined rules.

What’s New

Response Orchestration lets security teams define exactly how Atlas responds the moment a Security Finding qualifies without waiting for a human to open a ticket. Teams build rules with specific conditions, and Atlas fires the configured actions instantly: alerting the right people through email, mobile push, or Slack, and taking containment actions on the right hosts or users.

  • Condition-Based Rules: Define triggers across Severity, Finding Type, Location, Tags, and more. All conditions must match before any action fires, no false-positive risk from automation.
  • Multi-Channel Alerting: Email and mobile push notifications to configured recipients. Slack alerts routed directly to designated channels where your team already works.
  • Host Isolation and User Suspension: Automatically isolate involved hosts or suspend compromised users the moment a qualifying finding fires. Tag-filtered rules let you scope containment to specific host subsets.
  • Full Audit Trail: Every automated and manual action is logged in the finding timeline, reversible, auditable, and compliance ready.
  • Analyst Override Always Available: Automation accelerates response; it never eliminates human judgment. Manual controls surface in the finding UI for every action taken.

Why It Matters

Security teams don’t lack intelligence, they lack the bridge between a confirmed finding and an immediate response. Alert queues grow. Critical findings sit in triage. And the gap between detection and containment is exactly where attackers expand their foothold. Response Orchestration closes that gap by turning a confirmed Atlas Finding into machine-speed action, on rules your team controls.

How It Works

1
Define
Create rules in Atlas with conditions: Severity, Finding Type, Location, Tags. Set actions: email, Slack, host isolation, user suspension.
2
Detect
An Atlas Security Finding fires. All active rules are evaluated simultaneously against the finding's conditions.
3
Act
Matching rules trigger configured actions automatically — alerts sent, hosts isolated, users suspended — in under a minute.
4
Review
The finding timeline logs every automated and manual action. Analyst overrides and reversals are available at any time.

Part of eSentire’s Controlled Autonomy SecOps Model

Response Orchestration is built on the same Controlled Autonomy foundation that governs the entire Atlas Platform. Every automated action is policy-bounded, reversible, and fully explainable. Customer-defined authority envelopes govern what runs automatically versus what routes to analyst approval, so your team retains oversight without sacrificing speed.

Response Orchestration joins eSentire’s growing set of Atlas automation capabilities alongside AI Investigation Workflows and Atlas Preempt, giving customers a unified platform to preempt, detect, investigate, and now respond, all inside a single Controlled Autonomy operating model.
