Close or Change the Status of Incidents
Applies To: ThreatSync
Incidents can have one of these statuses:
- New — New incidents not yet reviewed in the Incident Details page.
- Read — Incidents reviewed in the Incident Details page or manually marked as Read.
- Closed — Incidents closed by an automation policy or manually closed because an analyst determined that the threat is no longer a concern.
You can change the status of incidents in the Incidents page or Incidents Details page. For example, after an action completes for a specific incident, you can change its status to Closed to keep your incident list organized. By default, the Incidents page shows only incidents with a status of New and Read.
You can also configure automation policies to automatically close incidents that meet specific conditions. For more information on automation policies, go to About ThreatSync Automation Policies.
