Create executive security briefings with NixGuard AI & Wazuh alerts

Drowning in security alerts? Spending hours translating technical logs from Wazuh, your SIEM, or other tools into business-friendly reports for leadership? This n8n workflow is your automated Security Analyst, designed to save you time and bridge the communication gap between technical teams and non-technical executives.

Using a powerful two-stage AI process via the NixGuard Security RAG connector, this workflow transforms raw security event data into a concise, actionable daily briefing.

How It Works:

  1. Stage 1: Intelligent Filtering & Data Structuring: On a daily schedule, the workflow first calls the AI to sift through all recent security events. It intelligently identifies significant alerts and structures them into a clean, machine-readable JSON array, cutting through the noise.
  2. Stage 2: Executive Summarization: If critical alerts are found, the workflow feeds this structured JSON into a second AI prompt. It tasks the AI to act as a Senior Security Analyst, generating a high-level summary that focuses on business impact, key threat patterns, and a clear, single recommendation—all in plain English.
  3. Automated Delivery: The final Markdown report is automatically converted to HTML and emailed as a professional daily security briefing to your stakeholders.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Slash Reporting Time: Automate the manual, time-consuming process of daily security analysis and reporting.
  • Bridge the Technical Gap: Deliver clear, non-technical summaries that executives can understand and act upon instantly.
  • Reduce Alert Fatigue: Let AI filter out the low-level noise and only escalate what truly matters.
  • Two-Stage AI Processing: Leverage a sophisticated AI chain for more accurate and relevant results than a single prompt.
  • Highly Customizable: Easily adapt the prompts, schedule, and data sources (any system compatible with the NixGuard RAG connector) to fit your exact needs.

Who is this for?

  • Security Analysts, Engineers, and Managers who need to automate daily reporting.
  • SecOps and DevOps Teams looking to integrate security intelligence into their automated workflows.
  • IT Directors and VPs who need to provide consistent security posture updates to leadership.
  • Anyone responsible for communicating cybersecurity risk to non-technical stakeholders.
