SIEM Alert Enrichment with MITRE ATT&CK
Ingests raw SIEM alerts, enriches them with MITRE ATT&CK TTPs via vector search.
ops and IT teams
What it does
You receive enriched SIEM alerts that automatically link raw incidents to MITRE ATT&CK Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures via vector search. This process generates specific remediation steps and updates your Zendesk tickets with contextual threat intelligence so SOC teams can act immediately.
Step by step
- Configure the n8n HTTP Request node to fetch raw alerts from the Zendesk API using OAuth2 credentials.
- Set up the Qdrant collection with pre-indexed MITRE ATT&CK technique descriptions and metadata fields for vector similarity search.
- Define the JSON schema for the Zendesk ticket update payload, ensuring fields like tags and description are mapped correctly.
Where the LLM does the work
- Prompt the OpenAI model to interpret the top-k vector search results and map them to specific MITRE ATT&CK Tactics and Techniques.
- Generate concise, actionable remediation steps tailored to the detected threat context for SOC analysts.
- Summarize the enrichment data into a natural language description that fits within Zendesk ticket character limits.
Watch out for
Vector search may return irrelevant techniques if the alert text is too sparse, so add a minimum similarity score threshold to filter results.
Token usage costs can escalate with large alert bodies, truncate or summarize raw alert payloads before sending them to the OpenAI API.

You are helping me build the following AI agent workflow. ## Goal SIEM Alert Enrichment with MITRE ATT&CK: Ingests raw SIEM alerts, enriches them with MITRE ATT&CK TTPs via vector search. ## Specification - What it does: You receive enriched SIEM alerts that automatically link raw incidents to MITRE ATT&CK Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures via vector search. This process generates specific remediation steps and updates your Zendesk tickets with contextual threat intelligence so SOC teams can act immediately. - Trigger: Triggered by an event (Event · on new SIEM alert) - Autonomy: Fully hands-off - Expected setup effort: a few focused days - Tools/services involved: - n8n: Workflow orchestration - Zendesk: Ticket enrichment and updates - Qdrant Vector Store: Storing and retrieving MITRE ATT&CK data - OpenAI Chat Model: Generating remediation steps and extracting TTPs ## Known pitfalls, handle each one explicitly in your implementation 1. Vector search may return irrelevant techniques if the alert text is too sparse, so add a minimum similarity score threshold to filter results. 2. Token usage costs can escalate with large alert bodies, truncate or summarize raw alert payloads before sending them to the OpenAI API. ## Reference implementation https://n8n.io/workflows/2840 (workflow template) Fetch and inspect this before building. If it matches my stack, adapt it; if not, rebuild the pattern with my tools. ## Process requirements 1. Before building: ask me which of the listed tools I actually use and what my platform is (n8n / Make / code / other). Do not assume. 2. Adapt the pattern to my answers; do not force the reference stack. 3. Address every pitfall above; tell me how you handled each. 4. Provide a test plan I can run before letting this touch real data. 5. Ask before any step that sends messages, modifies data, or spends money.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use a different Automation Platform than n8n?
Yes. n8n is only the example automation platform in this recipe. The same flow works with Home Assistant. Swap the automation platform connection and keep the rest of the setup as written.
Want this running in your business?
This is what I do. I design and build AI agents like this one, and keep them running. If you want it set up for your team instead of doing it yourself, get in touch.
