# Create Lookup Request for IoC Changes workflow

The **Security Incident Response - Create Lookup Request for IoC Changes** flow is triggered by the **Lookup Security Incident Observables** scheduled job to automatically look up IoCs that are added or changed. Malware scans are triggered only when new data is entered and only the new data is scanned.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_si.basic

## About this task

If the IoC is empty, the workflow does not run. Historical scans are retained and viewable in the **Security Scan Requests** tab and worknotes of the security incident. The existing security incidents are automatically updated.

**Important:**

The **Security Incident Response - Create Lookup Request for IoC Changes** workflow is migrated to the Flow Designer. The flow gets triggered only when the sn\_ti\_scanner has at least one record.

The Flow Designer actions include:

-   Audit Log Enrichment
-   [Create IoC Lookup Request activity](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/security-management/security-incident-response/r_CreateMalwareScanRequest.md)

The **Create IoC Lookup Request** activity can be used with any workflow to create a malware lookup request for added or modified IoC fields.
