What Are Gamebooks?

Gamebooks are ContraForce’s SOP-driven incident response workflows. They guide analysts through investigation and response steps, ensuring consistent outcomes regardless of who is handling the incident.

Automated Gamebook Mapping

ContraForce now automatically maps incidents to the appropriate Gamebook based on incident type, severity, and other characteristics. This means:
  • Faster time to action — No manual Gamebook selection required
  • Consistent response — Same incident types handled the same way
  • Reduced training burden — Analysts don’t need to memorize which Gamebook to use

Enhanced Automation Modes

Gamebooks now support three automation levels:
ModeBehavior
ManualAnalyst reviews and approves each step
AutomaticSteps execute automatically with analyst supervision
AutonomousFull automation with minimal analyst involvement

Improved Action Visibility

  • See exactly which actions will be taken before execution
  • Clear indicators for reversible vs. irreversible actions
