TheHive integration enables users to create, update, and retrieve cases effortlessly. Triggered manually, this workflow streamlines case management by automating the creation of new cases with specified severity and allows for updates and retrieval of case details, enhancing efficiency and organization in incident response.
This workflow is ideal for:
- Incident Response Teams: Professionals who need to manage and track security incidents efficiently.
- Security Analysts: Individuals looking for a streamlined process to create, update, and retrieve case information for investigations.
- IT Managers: Leaders who oversee incident management and require a systematic approach to handle cases in TheHive.
- Developers: Those who want to automate case management tasks within their existing workflows using n8n.
This workflow addresses the following issues:
- Manual Case Management: Eliminates the need for manual data entry and tracking of cases in TheHive, reducing human error.
- Inefficiency in Incident Tracking: Provides a structured method to create, update, and retrieve case information, ensuring that no critical details are overlooked.
- Time Consumption: Automates repetitive tasks, saving time for security teams to focus on more critical analysis and response activities.
The workflow consists of the following steps:
1. Manual Trigger: The workflow starts when the user clicks 'execute', initiating the case management process.
2. Create Case in TheHive: A new case is created with specific parameters such as:
- Title: 'n8n'
- Owner: 'Harshil'
- Severity: 1
- Description: 'Creating a case from n8n'
- Start Date: December 3, 2020, 10:08 AM UTC.
3. Update Case: Once the case is created, the workflow updates the case severity to 3.
4. Retrieve Case Information: Finally, the workflow retrieves the updated case information from TheHive, allowing users to review the modifications made.
Users can customize this workflow by:
- Modifying Case Parameters: Change the title, owner, severity, and description fields in the 'Create Case in TheHive' step to fit specific use cases.
- Adjusting Update Fields: Users can modify the severity or add additional fields to update in the 'Update Case' step.
- Changing Trigger Type: Instead of a manual trigger, consider using a different trigger (e.g., scheduled, webhook) to automate the workflow based on specific events.
- Adding Additional Nodes: Integrate more nodes for notifications, logging, or further processing of case data as needed.
