SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response)

 SOAR

SOAR stands for Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response, and is a set of tools and services that automate the prevention and response to cyberattacks. SOAR systems can help organizations improve their security posture by:

Automating responses

SOAR systems can automate responses to a variety of events, which can help reduce the strain on IT teams.

Improving efficiency

SOAR systems can help security teams resolve incidents more efficiently, which can reduce costs and boost productivity.

Preventing future incidents

SOAR systems can help organizations observe, understand, and prevent future incidents.

Prioritizing incident response

SOAR systems can use machine learning and human analysis to prioritize incident response actions.

SOAR systems combine three software capabilities:

• Threat and vulnerability management: Technologies that help address cyberthreats
• Security incident response: Technologies that help respond to security incidents
• Security operations automation: Technologies that enable automation and orchestration within operations
