Incident Stitching (or Correlation) is the intelligence layer in Cortex XSIAM that addresses the "swamping" of SOC analysts with too many individual alerts.
* Clustering: It analyzes incoming alerts from disparate sources and uses machine learning to identify if they belong to the same attack story based on shared entities (e.g., same host, same user, same IP) and timeframes.
* Contextualization: Instead of seeing 50 separate "Suspicious Process" and "Malicious URL" alerts, the analyst sees one Incident that contains all 50 alerts. This provides a clear picture of the attack's progression and drastically reduces the number of "tickets" an analyst needs to review.
