Security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) refers to a set of solutions and tools that automate cyberattack prevention and response. This automation is accomplished by unifying your integrations, defining how tasks should be run, and developing an incident response plan that suits your organization\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the help of SOAR technology, security operation center (SOC) teams that were previously inundated with repetitive and time-consuming tasks are now able to resolve incidents more efficiently. This, in turn, reduces costs, fills coverage gaps, and boosts productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Orchestration<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Security orchestration connects and integrates disparate internal and external tools via built-in or custom integrations and application programming interfaces. Connected systems may include vulnerability scanners, endpoint protection products, user and entity behavior analytics, firewalls, intrusion detection and intrusion prevention systems (IDSes\/IPSes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also includes security information and event management (SIEM) platforms, endpoint security software, external threat intelligence feeds, and other third-party sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more data gathered through these sources, the better the chance of detecting threats, along with assembling more complete context and improving collaboration. The tradeoffs, however, are more alerts and more data to ingest and analyze. Where security orchestration collects and consolidates data to initiate response functions, security automation takes action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Automation<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Security automation ingests and analyzes data and creates repeated, automated processes to replace manual processes. Tasks previously performed by analysts, such as vulnerability scanning, log analysis, ticket checking and auditing capabilities, can be standardized and automatically executed by SOAR platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to decipher and adapt insights from analysts, SOAR automation can prioritize threats, make recommendations and automate future responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, automation can elevate threats if human intervention is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playbooks are essential to the success of SOAR in cybersecurity. Prebuilt or customized playbooks are predefined automated actions. Multiple SOAR playbooks can be connected to complete complex actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The automation features of SOAR set it apart from other security systems because they help eliminate the need for manual steps, which can be time-consuming and tedious. Security automation can accomplish a wide range of tasks, including managing user access and query logs. Automation can also be used as a tool for orchestration. As an orchestration solution, SOAR can automate tasks that would normally necessitate multiple security tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Response<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Security Response offers a single view for analysts into the planning, managing, monitoring and reporting of actions carried out after a threat is detected. This single view enables collaboration and threat intelligence sharing across security, network and systems teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also includes post-incident response activities, such as case management and reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both orchestration and automation provide the foundation for the response feature of a SOAR system. With SOAR, an organization can manage, plan, and coordinate how they react to a security threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The automation feature of SOAR in cybersecurity eliminates the risk of human error. This makes responses more accurate and cuts down on the amount of time it takes for security issues to be remedied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A SOAR system enables cybersecurity and IT teams to combine efforts as they address the overall network environment in a more unified manner. The tools and solutions that SOAR uses can combine internal data and external information about threats. Teams can then use this information to ascertain the issues at the root of each security situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOAR tools & solutions<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Security, Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) tools are software products that enable IT teams to define, standardize and automate the organization\u2019s incident response activities. Most organizations use these tools to automate security operations and processes, respond to incidents, and manage vulnerabilities and threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally, SOAR solutions enable teams to collect valuable security data, and identify, analyze, and address existing and potential threats and vulnerabilities from different sources. Consequently, the tools provide more visibility that allows organizations to\u00a0respond to security incidents\u00a0faster, efficiently, and consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
