Building Incident Response Dashboard

Overview

Cybersecurity skill for building incident response dashboard. Follows industry best practices and security standards.

When to Use

Trigger phrases:

• "building incident response dashboard"
• "IR teams need real-time dashboards during active incidents for coordination and"
• "SOC leadership requires operational dashboards showing incident status and analy"
• "Post-incident reviews need visual timelines and impact assessments"

Use this skill when:

• IR teams need real-time dashboards during active incidents for coordination and tracking
• SOC leadership requires operational dashboards showing incident status and analyst workload
• Post-incident reviews need visual timelines and impact assessments
• Executive briefings require high-level incident metrics and trend analysis

Do not use for day-to-day SOC monitoring dashboards (use Incident Review instead) — IR dashboards are designed for active incident coordination and management reporting.

When NOT to Use

• When you lack proper authorization for testing
• For production systems without change management
• When the task requires legal or compliance expertise beyond technical scope

Prerequisites

• SIEM platform (Splunk with Dashboard Studio, Elastic Kibana, or Grafana)
• Notable event and incident data in SIEM (Splunk ES incident_review index)
• Ticketing system integration (ServiceNow, Jira) for remediation tracking
• Asset and identity lookup tables for context enrichment
• Dashboard publishing access for SOC team and management distribution

Workflow

# Example: IOC detection
import re

IOC_PATTERNS = {
    "ip": r"\b(?:\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}\b",
    "domain": r"\b[a-z0-9-]+\.[a-z]{2,}\b",
    "hash_md5": r"\b[a-f0-9]{32}\b",
    "hash_sha256": r"\b[a-f0-9]{64}\b",
}

def extract_iocs(text: str) -> dict:
     {k: re.findall(v, text)  k, v  IOC_PATTERNS.items()}
