Running Playbooks in Threat Graph

When using Threat Graph, you can run Playbooks containing a UserAction Trigger configured for a given Indicator’s type if the Indicator exists in ThreatConnect. This allows you to perform automated analysis of Indicators without needing to leave Threat Graph.

Running a Playbook From a Node’s Contextual Menu

1. On an object's graph, click on a node representing an Indicator that exists in ThreatConnect.
2. Select Run Playbook… from the node’s contextual menu. The Select Playbook window will be displayed, showing all active Playbooks containing a UserAction Trigger configured for the Indicator’s type (Figure 1).

   

    

   • To open a Playbook in the Playbook Designer, click the Playbook’s name in the Name column.
   • To select a Playbook to run, click in the Description column for its entry.
   • After selecting a Playbook, click the Run Playbook button. Once the Playbook execution begins, a message stating “Playbook has been started” will be displayed at the lower-left corner of the graph.
