The granted patent (Publication Number: US11886580B2) discloses a method for automatically generating a digital cybersecurity artifact to accelerate threat mitigation in response to a cybersecurity event. The method involves identifying the event, constructing an informative artifact with remediation proposals, and installing event-specific graphics based on the type of remediation proposed. The graphics include visual representations of subscriber assets, threat nodes, login activity data, and more, aiding in understanding and addressing the cybersecurity event effectively.

Furthermore, the method includes automatically augmenting the artifact with additional remediation proposals generated by a cybersecurity detection and response service. It also allows for the installation of additional event-specific graphics based on user input, enhancing the artifact's comprehensiveness. The digital cybersecurity artifact is tailored to the incident's characteristics, such as threat type and severity, and includes various threat type-specific content automations to provide detailed investigation findings data. By executing these automations, the artifact generates reporting elements like alert-to-fix timelines, cybersecurity intelligence metrics, and graphical representations of subscriber assets and threat nodes, facilitating efficient threat mitigation actions based on the incident-specific reporting artifact.
