About TheHive
TheHive is an open-source security incident response platform built for SOC teams, CSIRTs, and anyone handling cybersecurity incidents. It gives security analysts a central place to create cases, track observables (like IP addresses, domains, and file hashes), assign tasks to team members, and collaborate on investigations. It integrates tightly with MISP for threat intelligence sharing and Cortex for automated observable analysis.
In n8n, the TheHive node lets you automate common incident response actions — creating cases, adding observables, updating task statuses, and pulling case data into other systems. This is particularly useful for organisations that want to reduce the manual overhead of incident documentation and ensure consistent response procedures across their team.
Osher works with Australian organisations to connect TheHive into broader automation workflows. A typical setup might automatically create TheHive cases from SIEM alerts, enrich observables through Cortex, and push status updates to Slack or Microsoft Teams. If your security team is spending too much time on manual case management, our systems integration team can help you automate the repetitive parts.

How it works
We work hand-in-hand with you to implement TheHive
As TheHive consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate TheHive with integrate and automate 800+ tools.
Step 1
Set Up TheHive API Credentials in n8n
Create a dedicated service account in TheHive with appropriate permissions. Generate an API key for this account and add it as a TheHive credential in n8n. You will need to specify your TheHive instance URL and select the correct API version (v4 or v5).
Step 2
Map Your Incident Response Workflow
Document your current incident response process — how cases get created, what observables are tracked, how tasks are assigned, and where updates are communicated. Identify which steps are manual and repetitive, as these are your automation targets.
Step 3
Build the Case Creation Workflow
Create an n8n workflow that receives alert data (from a webhook, email, or API call) and creates a TheHive case with the correct title, description, severity, tags, and observables. Use n8n’s data transformation nodes to map incoming alert fields to TheHive’s case schema.
Step 4
Add Observable Enrichment
Extend your workflow to automatically enrich observables when a case is created. This might mean querying VirusTotal for file hashes, checking IP reputation services, or running Cortex analysers. Attach the results back to the TheHive case as observable reports.
Step 5
Configure Notifications and Escalation
Add notification steps to your workflow so the right people are alerted when cases are created or escalated. Send messages to Slack channels, create tasks in project management tools, or trigger email alerts based on case severity or type.
Step 6
Test with Sample Incidents and Go Live
Run your workflow against sample alert data that represents real incident scenarios your team handles. Verify that cases are created correctly, observables are enriched, and notifications reach the right channels. Fix any data mapping issues before activating the workflow in production.
