After SOAR

War room

A war room is a shared workspace tied to one incident where analysts run commands, post notes and see automation output in one stream. Palo Alto's XSOAR uses the term. It is a case-management feature, and its fields and role controls matter more than the name.

What War room means

In practice it is a timeline of what people and playbooks did on the incident. It supports hand-offs between shifts and gives an auditor a single place to read.

Treat it as data to export. The pages read do not say how a war room leaves XSOAR.
