Tasks List View

After investigating incidents, in the Tasks List view (Respond > Tasks), you can create and track incident tasks. For example, you can create remediation tasks when you require actions on incidents from teams outside of your security operations. You can reference external ticket numbers within the tasks and then track those tasks to completion. You can also modify and delete tasks as required, depending on your user permissions.
