Automate Security Alert Triage with NixGuard AI and Route to Slack or Jira

Are you drowning in a sea of security notifications? Do your analysts spend more time sifting through low-level logs than investigating real threats? This workflow transforms n8n into an autonomous SOC (Security Operations Center) Analyst, tackling alert fatigue head-on.

Leveraging the NixGuard Security RAG connector, this workflow automates the entire alert triage process. It ingests raw security events (from sources like Wazuh, your SIEM, or EDR), uses AI to analyze and assign a priority, and then intelligently routes the alert to the correct Slack channel.

How It Works:

Ingest & Filter: The workflow runs on a schedule, fetching all recent security alerts. It first performs a basic filtering to isolate events that meet a minimum severity threshold (e.g., level 7+). AI Analysis & Prioritization: The aggregated high-severity alerts are then sent to the AI with a specific prompt, asking it to analyze the situation and return a structured JSON object containing a single, overall priority (Critical, High, Info) and a concise summary. Intelligent Routing: A Switch node reads the AI-assigned priority and routes the notification to the appropriate destination. Critical alerts go to your #security-incident-response channel, high-priority alerts to #security-investigations, and informational ones to #security-logs.

Key Features & Benefits:

Eliminate Alert Fatigue:** Drastically reduce the noise by having AI pre-process and categorize alerts before they hit your team. Automate SOC Tier 1 Triage:** Free up your human analysts from repetitive triage tasks so they can focus on high-value investigation and threat hunting. Faster Incident Response:** Route critical alerts to the right people in real-time, cutting down on crucial response time. Consistent Prioritization:** Use AI to ensure a consistent, unbiased approach to alert prioritization, 24/7. Smart Routing Logic:** Go beyond simple keyword matching. The Switch node ensures alerts are delivered to the team best equipped to handle them based on AI-assessed severity.

Who is this for?

SOC Analysts & Security Engineers** looking to automate alert triage and incident response workflows. SecOps and DevOps Teams** who want to build a more efficient, automated security operations pipeline. IT Managers and Directors** aiming to improve their team's efficiency and reduce the risk of missing critical alerts. Anyone using Wazuh, a SIEM, or other security tools that generate a high volume of alerts.

Stop manually triaging alerts. Install this workflow to build your own AI-powered security automation platform and let your team focus on what matters most.
