Monitor zero-day threats with Anthropic Claude, Airtable, Slack and Jira

This workflow continuously monitors CVE databases, threat intelligence feeds, and public security advisories to surface emerging zero-day threats, correlates them against your registered infrastructure assets and software inventory, and uses Claude AI to score exploitability, assess business impact, and generate actionable remediation playbooks — all before attackers can operationalise the vulnerability.

How it works

1. Trigger — Hourly schedule or on-demand webhook for immediate threat scans
2. Load Asset Inventory — Fetches registered infrastructure (IPs, hostnames, software, versions) from Airtable
3. Scrape CVE Sources — Queries NVD API, CISA KEV, and GitHub Security Advisories in parallel
4. Fetch Threat Feeds — Pulls OSINT feeds (AlienVault OTX, abuse.ch, Shodan) for active exploitation signals
5. Normalise & Deduplicate — Merges all findings, deduplicates by CVE ID, enriches with CVSS scores
6. Correlate with Assets — Matches CVEs to your specific software/version inventory
7. AI Threat Assessment — Claude AI scores exploitability, blast radius, and urgency per matched threat
8. Filter Critical Findings — Keeps only threats scoring above configurable risk threshold
9. Route by Severity — Branches CRITICAL / HIGH / MEDIUM for different response paths
10. Alert SOC via Slack — Immediate notification with threat summary and patch status
11. Create Incident Tickets — Auto-opens Jira/ServiceNow issues for CRITICAL and HIGH threats
12. Email Security Team — Detailed HTML threat brief with CVE details and remediation steps
13. Update Threat Register — Appends findings to Google Sheets threat intelligence log
14. Trigger Patch Workflow — Webhooks downstream patch management system for auto-remediation
15. Return API Response — Structured JSON result for SIEM/SOAR integration

Setup Steps

1. Import workflow into n8n
2. Configure credentials:

• Anthropic API — Claude AI for threat assessment
• NVD API Key — NIST National Vulnerability Database
• CISA KEV — Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue (public)
• AlienVault OTX API — Open Threat Exchange pulses
• Shodan API — Internet exposure checks
• Airtable — Asset/software inventory
• Google Sheets OAuth — Threat intelligence log
• Slack OAuth — SOC alerts
• Jira API — Incident ticket creation
• SendGrid / SMTP — Security team email digests

1. Register your asset inventory in Airtable (hostnames, IPs, software, versions)
2. Set your risk score threshold (default: 65) in the filter node
3. Set your Slack SOC channel IDs
4. Configure downstream patch webhook URL
5. Activate the workflow

Sample Webhook Payload (On-Demand Scan)

{
 "scanType": "targeted",
 "software": "Apache HTTP Server",
 "version": "2.4.51",
 "urgency": "high",
 "requestedBy": "[email protected]"
}

Threat Sources Monitored

• NVD (NIST) — Full CVE database with CVSS v3.1 scores
• CISA KEV — Actively exploited vulnerabilities catalogue
• GitHub Security Advisories — Open source dependency vulnerabilities
• AlienVault OTX — Community threat intelligence pulses
• abuse.ch URLhaus — Malware distribution and C2 URLs
• Shodan — Internet-exposed asset enumeration

• Active Exploitation — CISA KEV / OTX confirmation
• Business Impact — Confidentiality, integrity, availability impact
• Blast Radius — Number of affected assets and systems
• Urgency Score — Composite prioritisation score (0–100)
