SOC Auto-Focus Cuts Investigation And Response Time Through AI-Powered Analysis

Investigating security findings often means digging through dense data logs, switching between dashboards, and trying to make sense of technical data. The process is time-consuming, slowing response times and creating unnecessary friction for IT teams. Even with all that effort, analysts still lack a complete picture of activity across their environment, making it harder to connect the dots. Without the right context, alerts take longer to resolve and senior staff are pulled into issues that should be routine.

Introducing SOC Auto-Focus

SOC Auto-Focus accelerates your security investigations by using AI-powered analysis to enrich Blumira findings with plain-language summaries and guided investigation steps. It analyzes evidence from new findings, compiles relevant data from across your environment, and presents it all in a digestible format to support your team's decision-making process. 

Instead of starting from scratch, your team immediately sees the full picture with what happened, why it matters, and how to respond, helping analysts of any skill level respond faster and with confidence. In addition to prioritizing details from the finding, Auto-Focus maps suspect activity to recognized attack patterns and provides better context on why it presents a risk. Auto-Focus doesn’t replace your team's judgment; it gives them the context they need to make better decisions faster. It also makes Blumira’s built-in expertise more accessible than ever, helping augment your team’s existing security knowledge with our guidance.

When a new finding appears in Blumira, SOC Auto-Focus immediately analyzes the log details and enriches them with expert-driven context:

• Instant Context: A plain-language summary that highlights the most important details up front.
• Clear Prioritization: Each finding includes a criticality rating, recommended response timeframe, and confidence score so your team can focus on the most important alerts.
• Guided Response: Step-by-step investigation and remediation actions appear right on the Findings page, based on Blumira’s proven security workflows mapped to MITRE ATT&CK patterns.
• Security Education: Each recommendation explains the reasoning behind it, giving analysts in-the-moment training that builds expertise over time.

How it Works

SOC Auto-Focus is available for Automate customers. Once analyzed, results from analysis are shared across all users in the organization and stored indefinitely for reference. This feature includes usage parameters to ensure analysts have actionable, repeatable guidance without introducing noise or redundancy:

• A finding can be analyzed once every six hours
• After an analysis is generated, a cooldown applies before the same finding can be re-analyzed, during which the window will display “Waiting for cooldown.”
• Your organization is allocated 10 analyses per month, plus 1 additional run for every 5 employees.
