Summary

Tines offers a streamlined approach to automating security processes by breaking them into smaller steps using one of its seven Action types, where each Action performs a function and passes the result to the next until completion. Although this atomic architecture can complicate troubleshooting and time assessment for complex stories, the introduction of Story runs provides a solution by allowing users to trace the exact path an event takes through a Story. This is exemplified by both simple and complex Stories, where users can track Actions and their emitted events chronologically, view and edit Action properties, and assess performance metrics such as start time, end time, and duration. These metrics highlight the efficiency gains of using Tines, such as reducing a phishing response time from 30 minutes manually to 19 seconds with automation. Additionally, the terminology update from "agents" to "Actions" is noted, though visuals may not yet reflect this change.
