What is the primary function of the playbook monitor in FortiSOC?

The primary function of the playbook monitor in FortiSOC is to provide visibility into the status of playbook jobs. It serves as a real-time dashboard that allows IT administrators and security analysts to track the progress and outcomes of various automated responses and investigations triggered by security events. By monitoring the playbooks, users can ensure that the responses to incidents are executed correctly and can identify any issues or failures in the execution process. This visibility aids in maintaining operational efficiency and allows for timely adjustments to security protocols as needed.

While generating reports, executing alerts, and managing user permissions are all important functions within a security operation center, they are not the primary focus of the playbook monitor. The essential purpose of the playbook monitor is concentrated specifically on monitoring the activities and statuses of the automated processes defined within the playbooks.
