IRIS is a collaborative incident response platform designed to help security teams manage investigations and share technical information.
It brings alerts, cases, assets, indicators of compromise, notes, tasks, files and timeline events together in a central web interface.
The platform supports alert correlation and escalation, case templates, report generation, custom dashboards and granular access controls. Its modular architecture can enrich indicators and exchange data with services such as MISP, VirusTotal, Splunk and external webhook endpoints.
This is free and open source software.
