Security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR)
Accelerate incident response with automation, process standardization and integration with your existing security tools
Overview
Threat detection is only half of the security equation. You also need smart incident response to the growing volume of alerts, multiple tools and staff shortages. Mature organizations are adopting a single security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) platform, and working with consulting and managed services to improve their security operations centers.
This proactive approach to security threats delivers the critical elements of a successful zero trust strategy.
Benefits
Accelerate incident response
Your analysts face an onslaught of alerts, with an often confusing array of tools at their disposal. Automation helps enrich incidents with threat intelligence so they can quickly resolve damaging phishing attacks, malware infections in multiple endpoints, or focus attention on more critical tasks.
Manage security operations
Your SOC analysts may spend a lot of time in reaction mode. Managed detection and response experts can help them undertake more proactive vulnerability management and endpoint diagnostics, using tools like Ansible to scale and resolve issues when they occur.
Maximize your security tools with orchestration
A SOAR platform integrates your security tools, helping you centralize, standardize and scale processes. It automatically correlates security alerts flagged by your SIEM against threat intelligence feeds for malicious indicators, or integrates malware analysis into incidents after detonating in a sandbox.
SOAR platforms
Integrated security platform with SOAR
Integrate and orchestrate existing security tools using open standards to search for threat indicators across your hybrid, multicloud environment. Connect enterprise-wide workflows to make more informed decisions, while leaving data where it resides.
SOAR platform
Minimize the duration and impact of a cyber attack with an open platform that orchestrates and automates your organization’s response. Dynamic, adaptive playbooks guide your team to resolve incidents with agility and intelligence.
