Both "Recommended Actions" and "Adaptive Response Actions" use adaptive response. How do they differ?

The distinction between Recommended Actions and Adaptive Response Actions lies in their operational mechanisms and how they engage with the analyst. Recommended Actions provide a list of potential responses that an analyst can choose from. This means that they inform the analyst about possible actions that can be taken based on the data and insights gathered, allowing the analyst to make informed decisions.

On the other hand, Adaptive Response Actions are designed to execute automatically without requiring any input from the analyst. Their primary function is to respond to the events based on predefined rules and configurations, streamlining the response process and enhancing the efficiency of incident management.

By highlighting that Recommended Actions are presented for analyst consideration while Adaptive Response Actions are automated processes, the response captures the functional differences of both types of actions in incident response workflows within Splunk Enterprise Security.
