EDgaR - the EDR audit and asset discovery utility
This story assists IT Admins with EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response) compliance. With the two webforms, IT admins, who do not have access to the CrowdStrike console, can verify host registration along with the appropriate CrowdStrike tags. In addition, there is a scheduled workflow which queries the CrowdStrike asset discovery API to discover "unmanaged" neighbors, which do not have the Falcon Sensor installed. Tines, along with the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, facilitates EDR compliance and asset discovery.

Analyze SMS phishing with the AI action
From the submitter: Employees can use this simple form to upload a screenshot of a suspicious text message. We use Claude Sonnet multi-modal input to analyze the content, extract IOCs, and provide an initial triage to the employee. A case is created for the SOC, and escalated if multiple text messages are reported with matching numbers or URLs. We utilize prompt engineering from the paper "Principled Instructions Are All You Need", to improve AI output.
Tools: MISP, Slack, URLScan.io, VirusTotal

Streamline macOS software updates with self-service patch management
Our macOS Patch Management automation streamlines the entire lifecycle of managing software updates for macOS operating systems. It includes a self-service implementation of opting in and out of the patch management pilot group via Tines pages and a ring 0/ring1 approach to distributing macOS operating system updates. Updates are initially pushed to the pilot group for testing, and after a week, they are rolled out to the production group. This automation neatly balances user empowerment, system security and stability, and overall reduction of our company's attack surface.
