Building Incident Response Dashboard

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• IR teams need real-time dashboards during active incidents for coordination and tracking
• SOC leadership requires operational dashboards showing incident status and analyst workload
• Post-incident reviews need visual timelines and impact assessments
• Executive briefings require high-level incident metrics and trend analysis

Do not use for day-to-day SOC monitoring dashboards (use Incident Review instead) — IR dashboards are designed for active incident coordination and management reporting.

Prerequisites

• SIEM platform (Splunk with Dashboard Studio, Elastic Kibana, or Grafana)
• Notable event and incident data in SIEM (Splunk ES incident_review index)
• Ticketing system integration (ServiceNow, Jira) for remediation tracking
• Asset and identity lookup tables for context enrichment
• Dashboard publishing access for SOC team and management distribution
