Manage related incidents by using the related incidents
map in Cortex XSOAR. De-duplicate and link related incidents.
Related incidents are a visual representation
of incidents that share similar characteristics, such as malicious
indicators, or part of a single phishing campaign. Viewing related
incidents in a single view enables you to consolidate the investigation
by deduplicating and linking related incidents to the incident you
are viewing. Linking incidents helps you assess whether the action
taken is effective.
Using the Related Incidents Map
Go to the incident that you are investigating and click

Understanding the Related Incidents Map
The incident you are currently investigating is at the
center of the Related Incidents map, surrounded by the related incidents.
The more similar a related incident, the closer it is to the center.
The incidents are categorized according to incident status
(pending, active, and closed) and type (such as malware, phishing,
and so on). In this example, phishing is categorized:
Shape
Status
Pending status
Active status
Closed status
The map has a time spectrum. Incidents on the right side
of the map are newer than the current incident, and the incidents
on the left are older. Related incidents are spread across the spectrum
according to the time the incident was created. The time scope is
30 days before and 30 days after the currently investigated incident.
You can modify the range by using the
