Human-approved response plans (Wazuh Active Response)

Generate a risk-assessed response plan, validate it against security policies, and execute only after mandatory human approval — safer automation for production SOCs.

What happens

  1. Planner proposes a response plan with risk notes
  2. Policy guard validates the plan against allow/deny rules
  3. Humans approve or reject (two-tier workflow)
  4. Responder executes via Wazuh Active Response when approved

Deploy this workflow

Why it matters

  • Reduce analyst time spent on low-signal noise
  • Standardize triage quality across shifts
  • Keep response actions human-approved
  • Export evidence for audit and reporting
Tip: start with one alert source and one response playbook. Iterate based on metrics.
