Security Orchestration automation and Response

By 2023, 75% of organizations will restructure risk and security governance to address the widespread adoption of advanced technologies, an increase from fewer than 15% today.

A resilient cybersecurity strategy is essential to running the business while protecting against security threats and preventing data breaches and other enterprise cybersecurity threats.



Security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) primarily focuses on threat management, security operations automation, and security incident responses. SOAR platforms can instantly assess, detect, intervene, or search through incidents and processes without the consistent need for human interaction.

How SOAR is Different than SIEM.

Security information and event management (SIEM) system collects, analyzes, and stores security related data, including security incidents and events—data could range from firewalls and network devices to patterns that would indicate a cyber attack. SIEM tools typically need a degree of calibration and oversight to determine the accuracy of the data collected and to triage the more important data, which can be labor intensive. SOAR programs are often automated and typically do not require a large degree of expert human oversight to determine if the security events are false positives or actual incidents that require investigation. Time spent investigating and mitigating can be used much more efficiently and usefully.

USE SIEM AND SOAR FOR IMPORVED SECURITY

Success with security is ideally the combination of SIEM and SOAR. A lot is dependent on the size and type of data gathered around events, and a larger organization could receive up to millions of alerts a day, which a SIEM will gather and analyze. But a lot of data analysis is required to process through all of the data, which is where SOAR can be used in conjunction with a SIEM to process and manage incident response much faster, removing the time consuming and laborious manual incident prioritization and response processes.

Benefits:

  • SOAR helps build workflows & streamline operations
  • SOAR helps increase flexibility, extensibility, and collaboration
  • Respond more quickly and accurately
  • Improve analyst job satisfaction
  • Improve time management and productivity
  • Effectively manage incidents
  • Automate repeated and error-prone tasks
  • Simplify collaboration across operational teams
