The Problem

Filing security backlog manually created delays between detection and action. Teams needed security issues captured and tracked without human intervention in the loop.

What I Built

An event-driven POC where security signals trigger Lambda functions that evaluate filing criteria, create backlog items in Jira automatically, and resolve them when conditions are met — powered by ElasticSearch for signal correlation.

Technical Challenges

  • ElasticSearch query design for accurate signal correlation
  • Lambda orchestration for multi-step filing workflows
  • Idempotent processing — same signal never filed twice
  • Auto-resolution with configurable confidence thresholds

Results & Impact

  • Automated filing eliminating manual backlog creation
  • Faster detection-to-ticket cycle time
