| Custom Security Event workflow | We’ve added a new Custom Security Event workflow intent which can be used to help you ingest security events from your custom sources into the Cisco XDR Data Warehouse. When creating this type of workflow, a pre-defined group of actions on the canvas of the Workflow Editor shows you the data handling required along with some settings already configured to expedite the build process. We’ve added two new Cisco-managed atomic actions to help with the two security event types that are initially available: XDR – Analytics – Ingest Email Security Event and XDR – Analytics – Ingest Network Security Event. Also, in HTTP targets you can indicate whether the target is enabled for custom security event ingestion and it will create the module instance automatically. And in Webhook rules, you can indicate whether the rule is enabled to trigger a Custom Security Event workflow to execute when conditions are met. | |

The result no longer being empty can help prevent the workflow from failing if downstream logic is expecting a consistent structure. | |

| Google Cloud Platform integration added to Integrations page | The Google Cloud Platform integration has been added to the Third-Party tab on the Integrations page. Cisco XDR consumes network traffic data, including Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) flow logs, from your Google Cloud Platform (GCP) public cloud network. It then performs dynamic entity modeling by running analytics on that data to detect threats and indicators of compromise. Cisco XDR consumes VPC flow logs directly from your GCP account using across-account IAM service account with the proper permissions. If you have an existing Google Cloud Platform integration through Secure Cloud Analytics, you will continue to ingest the configured Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) flow logs. However, you will not be able to update your GCP service account credentials using the Secure Cloud Analytics portal. We recommend moving your GCP integration configuration to Cisco XDR to take advantage of the Workload Identity Federation (WIF) credentials, and then deleting the integration in Secure Cloud Analytics to avoid duplicate data ingestion. | Cisco and Third-Party Integrations and Supported Capabilities | 
| Attack Surface Management integration removed from Integrations page | The Attack Surface Management integration has been removed from the Cisco tab on the Integrations page due to the End-of-Life announcement of Cisco Attack Surface Management. For more information, see End-of-Sale and End-of-Life Announcement for the Cisco Attack Surface Management (formerly known as Secure Cloud Insights). If you have an existing Attack Surface Management integration configured, you can continue to access the dashboard cards in Control Center. | Cisco and Third-Party Integrations and Supported Capabilities |

| Suggestions based on best practices are now displayed and highlighted in the Workflow Editor | To help streamline the process and reduce the chance of errors, we're showing you available suggestions based on best practices and highlighting them in purple, during the process of creating or editing a workflow. For instance, when creating a workflow for an incident response or playbook task, a pre-built block of actions is automatically added to the canvas. Review the suggestion and click either Dismiss or Accept: Dismiss - Removes the block of actions and you can proceed with building the workflow. Accept - Leaves the block of actions and you can proceed with building the workflow, including adding the activity to be performed for each observable, checking the success of that activity in the condition block, and setting the workflow result property in the condition branches to provide feedback about the execution. For the HTTP Request activity, if you check the Continue workflow execution on failure check box in its properties, you see an inline suggestion to add an ensuing condition block and check whether the HTTP request succeeded or failed (using either the Succeeded boolean property or the Error Code to check for 404, 400, 200 and so on). For more information on the variables used to provide information about the workflow execution, see the Workflow Result section in the Workflow Variables Help topic. Additionally, when editing a workflow description or workflow variable description, a suggestion is displayed inline reminding you to make the description more informative and meaningful, such as including the purpose or how it should be used. We've also added the Show inline suggestions option to the Settings drop-down menu in the Workflow Editor, so that you can enable or disable all suggestions. | |

| New incident statuses | New incident statuses are now available for all incidents. The new statuses align with industry standards and they provide additional details on the nature of the incident. For a list of the available incident statuses, see Available Statuses.

You cannot set an incident to one of these statuses. | |

| New variables for observable state | Two new variables have been added to enable a content author to set the state of observables in their incident response workflows that are intended for use by playbook tasks. In the Set Variables activity within a For Each loop, open the variable browser, search or navigate to choose Result Message (string) and Succeeded (true or false), and enter their values. | |
| Set workflow result variables | When it comes to defining variables within a workflow, you can use the Workflow Result variables to provide information about the workflow’s execution. In particular, the Workflow Result Code variable is an auto-populated string - the system derives the value based on the observable state or workflow result - that indicates the outcome of the workflow. Now you also have the option to override and explicitly set the code by choosing a value from the list as needed. If you choose Completed Successfully to override Partially Completed in a completed workflow where at least one of its observable tasks did not succeed, the task workflow shows Complete in the incident playbook's Response tab and the Workflow Result variable's value is shown in the corresponding Worklog tab. View the workflow’s run details and you can see the values of both Workflow Result variables in the Output section. | |
