Handle an alert
An analyst triages an Insider Risk Management alert. The alert list shows a pseudonymized user with status Needs review. The alert details show all risk factors and the user activity timeline around the triggering event. The analyst can dismiss the alert with a reason, assign it, or confirm it and create a case. Here the alert is confirmed and a case is created. Ronny notices nothing.

TRIAGE
An alert is a question, not an answer
Is it real? Is it serious? Does it need a closer look?
Triage answers those questions before anyone is contacted.
IRM scores activity. People decide what happened.
