Which elements are included in a "Security Incident" report generated by Palo Alto Networks tools?

A "Security Incident" report generated by Palo Alto Networks tools typically includes critical information about the incident's context and response, which is why the details about who initiated the traffic and actions taken are essential components. These elements help security teams understand not just what happened during a specific incident, but also who was involved and what measures were taken in response.

Knowing who initiated the traffic assists in identifying potential insider threats or accidental misconfigurations, while the actions taken indicate the effectiveness of the organization's incident response plan. This information is vital for post-incident analysis and can guide future security procedures and policies.

In contrast, while details like the source of traffic and time of incident are important for overall situational awareness, they do not provide the same depth of insight into the response actions or the actors involved. Similarly, information about network topology and device settings, as well as user credentials and personal data, may not be relevant in the context of understanding the specific incident and response.
