Cyber Defense – STORM

Turn chaos into clarity with OTRS Cyber Defense STORM – the integrated hub that unifies alert intake, enrichment, and incident response while keeping analysts in flow.

In one place, ingest alerts from SIEMs and firewalls, enrich IOCs with built‑in intelligence and configurable sources, and triage using ready‑to‑use best‑practice workflows built on 20+ years of incident management. Watch a suspicious email become a fully tracked case in minutes: analyse files via VirusTotal, VMRay, or Joe Security, tag artifacts, and capture results automatically. Then launch response, add stakeholders, assign sub‑tasks, and generate audit‑ready reports – without switching tools.

The outcome: faster analysis, cleaner handoffs, and real‑time visibility from first alert to lessons learned.

Connect OTRS with your existing solution

OTRS is one of the most widely used service management systems, and it can be seamlessly integrated with existing applications, such as SAP, Salesforce or HP Service Center. The generic interface and the XSLT mapping module of OTRS allow both the integration of existing systems and also the individual combination of several OTRS solutions. This significantly reduces the risks, effort, and costs involved in creating and maintaining conventional interfaces.
