triaging-security-alerts-in-splunk
Triages security alerts in Splunk Enterprise Security by classifying severity, investigating notable events, correlating related telemetry, and making escalation or closure decisions using SPL queries and the Incident Review dashboard. Use when SOC analysts face queued alerts from correlation searches, need to prioritize investigation order, or must document triage decisions for handoff to Tier 2/3 analysts.

# Triaging Security Alerts in Splunk
## When to Use
Use this skill when:
- SOC Tier 1 analysts need to process the Incident Review queue in Splunk Enterprise Security (ES)
- Notable events require rapid severity classification and initial investigation before escalation
- Alert volume exceeds capacity and analysts need a systematic triage methodology
- Management requests metrics on alert disposition (true positive, false positive, benign)
**Do not use** for deep forensic investigation — escalate to Tier 2/3 after initial triage confirms malicious activity.
## Prerequisites
- Splunk Enterprise Security 7.x+ with Incident Review dashboard configured
