Navigate to any security incident list \\(for example, **All** > **Security Incident** > **Incidents** > **Show All Incidents**\\).\n\n2. Select **New**.\n\n3. On the form, fill in the fields.\n\n\n
\n\nField\n\n\n\nDescription\n\n
\n\nSelect security tag\n\n\n\nIf needed, select a [Security tag](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/create-class-group-and-tags.md) to add metadata to the record or identify who should have access to this security incident record. This field appears only after the security incident has been saved.**Note:** Manual tags are preserved when automatic tags are applied.\n\n
\n\nNumber\n\n\n\n\\[Read only\\] The security incident number.\n\n
\n\nRequested by\n\n\n\nThe person requesting the work to be performed.\n\n
\n\nConfiguration Item\n\n\n\nThe server, computer, router, or other configuration item affected by the security issue.\n\n
\n\nAffected user\n\n\n\nThe person affected by the security issue.\n\n
\n\nLocation\n\n\n\nThe location of the requester or resource. If a **Configuration Item** is not selected, this field is pre-filled with the location of the requester.\n\n
\n\nCategory\n\n\n\nThe category that identifies the type of security issue.If a category is selected, a workflow for analyzing this issue is executed when the record is saved. For example, if you select **Denial of Service**, the Security Incident - Denial of Service - Template workflow is executed.\n\n For more information, see [Security Incident Response workflow templates](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/security-incident-response/sir-orch-workflow-templates.md).\n\n
\n\nSubcategory\n\n\n\nThe subcategory that further defines the issue.\n\n
\n\nOpened\n\n\n\n\\[Read only\\] Displays the date and time the incident was opened.\n\n
\n\nState\n\n\n\nThe current state of the security incident. Upon security incident creation, this field defaults to **Draft**.\n\n
\n\nSubstate\n\n\n\nIdentifies whether the security incident includes a pending problem or change.\n\n
\n\nSource\n\n\n\nIdentifies the source of the security incident, such as email, a phone call, or network monitoring.\n\n
\n\nAlert Sensor\n\n\n\nSecurity integration through which you ingest the alert or event data such as CarbonBlack, CrowdStrike, McAfee, and so on.\n\n
\n\nAlert Rule\n\n\n\nThe rule in the security product which triggered the creation of this security incident.\n\n
\n\nRisk score\n\n\n\nDisplays the risk score calculated for this security incident. The value is based on the priority of the security incident, the type of security incident \\(Denial of Service, Spear Phishing, or Malicious code activity\\), and the number of sources that triggered a failed reputation score on an indicator. The risk score aids in prioritizing security incident work for analysts. Three security incident properties enable you to further designate a color-coded dot to appear next to the risk score in list view to make them more easily identifiable.\n\n If you change certain fields in the security incident, such as the **Business impact** or **Priority**, and save the record, the **Risk score** is automatically recalculated and displayed. The change is also reflected in the work notes and on the Risk Score Audits related list.\n\n**Note:** The risk score is also recalculated when affected users are associated with a security incident, affected services, or vulnerable items.\n\n You can also manually enter a new **Risk score**. This can be useful if you want to keep a particular security incident at the top of the list of security incidents you are analyzing. If you enter a new **Risk score**, the **Risk score override** check box is automatically selected. Regardless of the changes made in the security incident, a manually-entered risk score is not automatically recalculated.\n\n**Note:** If you have upgraded your instance from a prior release, risk scores were calculated for all of your open security incidents. For more information, see [Understanding security incident calculators](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/security-incident-response/setup-assistant-reference.md).\n\n
\n\nRisk score override\n\n\n\nSelect this check box to override the automatic update of the risk score. The override is reflected in the work notes.\n\n
\n\nBusiness impact\n\n\n\nSelect the importance of this security incident to your business. The default value is Non-critical. If, after the security incident record has been saved, you change the value in the **Priority** fand/or **Risk** fields, the **Business impact** is recalculated.\n\n
\n\nPriority\n\n\n\nSelect the order in which to address this security incident, based on the urgency. If this value is changed after the record is saved, it can affect the **Business impact** calculation.\n\n
\n\nAssignment group\n\n\n\nThe group to which this security incident is assigned.\n\n
\n\nAssigned to\n\n\n\nThe individual assigned to analyze this security incident. Assignments can be performed manually or automatically. For more information, see [Assigning security analysts](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/security-incident-response/r_AgentAssignment.md).\n\n
\n\nShort description\n\n\n\nA brief description of the security incident.\n\n
\n\nKnowledge results\n\n\n\nAs you type the short description, links to related articles from the knowledge base appear. Scanning the information could solve your issue.\n\n
4. Select and hold \\(or right-click\\) in the record header and select **Save**.\n\n If you added a new CI to the security incident, the following integration workflows are automatically executed:\n\n - [Security Operations - Get Running Processes Flow](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/secops-integration-get-running-processes-workflow.md). This workflow retrieves a list of running processes on a configuration item \\(CI\\) from a host or endpoint.\n - [Security Incident Response - Get Running Services workflow](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/security-incident-response/get-running-services-workflow.md). This workflow retrieves a list of running services from Windows-based CIs.\n - [Security Operations Integrations - Get Network Statistics flow](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/secops-integration-get-network-stats-workflow.md). This workflow retrieves a list of active network connections from a host or endpoint.\n5. To view the information retrieved by these workflows, click the **Show Enrichment Data** related link, and then click any of the indicated tabs.\n\n **Note:** Additional workflows are executed based on the third-party integrations you have activated as follows [Security Operations Carbon Black Integration - Get Running Processes Flow](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/secops-integration-cb-get-running-processes-workflow.md)\n\n\n**Related topics** \n\n\n[Security Incident Response setup](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/security-incident-response/setup-sir.md)\n\n"}}
