Madrid and later release requirements

 For the Madrid release and later family releases, the Security Incident Response Dependency plugin \(com.snc.si\_dep\) is required.

Install and activate this plugin before you install and activate the other Security Operations applications required by the integration.

 Verify that the following Security Operations applications are installed and activated from the ServiceNow Store. If not installed, install and activate one application at a time in the following order to ensure a smooth installation.

 1.  Security Incident Response
2.  Security Integration Framework
3.  Security Support Common
4.  Security Support Orchestration
