* Incident Merging / Playbooks
I would like to add my view about the Incident merging.
I think it is important to keep in mind the history of this team.
This team was built to be "the future" of Cisco Security.
The idea was lead by Dean and Craig.
The central notion of the product was /Playbooks/.
To my understanding, the main idea behind Playbooks was to have a kind of
meta system built by domain experts to greatly improve Threat hunting.
Typically by being able to discover complex links between different
warnings from different places in the system and how to react to them.
For example one of the first mission given to the rule engine was to
generate COAs (Course of Actions) from Sightings.
This give a better idea about what the engine could bring to the product.
Regarding using the engine to manage the incidents look a bit strange to
me.
As you all pointed out, if an incident is like a github-issue, having too
much github issue should be fixed at the source of the problem.
Prevent the automatic creation of too much similar issues.
If that could help to put the engine in a place where they could show their
strength I am all for it.
Mainly I think that keeping this idea of "Playbook" gives a better argument
about what problem is trying to be solved by the incident merging.
I think the main problem to solve might not be for the user but to give the
engine a real concrete use case.
