The challenge

An alert passed for investigation is only the beginning. Someone still has to search across tools, connect events and write an account that responders, managers and reviewers can all understand.

How CloudPeek helps

Investigations: an illustrative CloudPeek workflow
See how CloudPeek works · 30 secondsIllustrative scenario

  1. Collects relevant information from your connected tools and builds a timeline, keeping the sources attached to the investigation.

  2. Follows the evidence to examine which people or systems were involved, how far the issue spread and what caused it.

  3. Produces a structured report with the findings, supporting evidence and recommended next steps, ready for an analyst to review and amend.

What your team gets

A clear incident report

Give decision makers a coherent explanation of the incident, with evidence they can follow back to its source.

Clear next steps

Responders receive the findings and recommendations together, helping them decide what action is appropriate for the affected systems.

A shared investigation record

Keep the investigation and its findings in a shared record that the next analyst can inspect and build on.

You stay in control

Investigation begins with reviewing information. Your analyst can guide the work and approve recommendations; any enabled response follows your chosen approval rules and the boundaries you have set.
