 SOAR: A Compelling Solution to Automate
Security Operations and Drive Incident
Response
Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response, or SOAR technology has been in the
industry for some time now and security teams today have high expectations from SOAR
platforms. They require these solutions to possess comprehensive incident response
capabilities while seamlessly automating and integrating various security tools, processes, and
technologies. Basic automation of repetitive tasks is no longer sufficient; security teams now
seek SOAR solutions that can hyperautomate their security operations across environments.

However, traditional or legacy SOAR solutions have fallen short on the promise of meeting the
hyperautomation demands of security teams. Their limitations become evident due to the
lack of scalable and flexible automation and orchestration capabilities, hindering their ability
to effectively and easily automate growing number of use cases for security teams. Moreover,
the lack of value-driven support when it comes to designing and implementing use cases has
led to longer time to value realization for security teams. As a result, organizations are actively
pursuing next-generation SOAR solutions that can address these shortcomings.

When first introduced in the industry, SOAR solutions quickly gained a strong foothold as the
technology addressed some of the long-standing security-related challenges including:

» Alert Overload
With the increasing volume of security alerts generated by various security tools, it
becomes challenging for security teams to analyze, investigate, and respond to all alerts
effectively.

» Complexity of Security Tools

Organizations leverage a multitude of security tools. Each tool generates alerts and data in
different formats, making it challenging to manage and correlate them.

» Lack of Visibility
Consuming alerts and aligning log data from all connected and potentially impacted assets

SOAR Buyer’s Guide 3

 presents a significant challenge.

» Manual Incident Response

Manual incident response processes are slow, allowing attackers to remain undetected for
longer periods of time and cause more damage.

These challenges impact an organization’s threat handling and response effectiveness and
increase the likelihood and impact of cyberattacks. SOAR is designed to address these
challenges by automating and streamlining security operations, improving incident response
times, informing investigations, extending visibility, and enhancing overall security efficacy.

At its core, SOAR is about automation and integration. By connecting disparate security tools
and systems, SOAR streamlines workflows, reduces manual tasks, and enables security analysts
to focus on activities that require human reasoning and intelligence. By automating repetitive
and high-priority tasks, overall response times can be improved, security teams can work more
efficiently, and ultimately enhance an organization’s overall security posture.

SOAR is meant to be a game-changing technology that transforms the way organizations detect,
investigate, and respond to security incidents and deliver the following benefits:

 SOAR with Threat Intelligence

According to the 2023 Gartner Market Guide

for Security Orchestration, Automation and
Response Solutions, security orchestration
and automation (SOA) tools have not been
adding advanced threat intelligence platform
(TIP) features, and it is often the case that more
mature clients need both an SOA and a TIP to
achieve a full range of SOAR capabilities.

While organizations often find it necessary to implement both an SOA and a separate TIP to fully
meet their security requirements, what they truly need is a SOAR solution that provides robust
threat intelligence functionalities, in addition to automation and orchestration capabilities.The
inclusion of TIP capabilities in a true SOAR platform remains crucial for several reasons.

A TIP aggregates and analyzes intelligence from diverse sources, providing security teams with
a comprehensive understanding of the threat landscape. This contextualization allows teams
to prioritize and respond to incidents, ensuring that the most critical threats are addressed
promptly. Furthermore, a TIP enables automatic incident triage and prioritization. By correlating
security alerts with relevant threat intelligence, SOAR can quickly assess the severity and
potential impact of each incident. This automated process and does a far better job in incident
investigations and saves valuable time and resources, allowing security teams to focus on the
most urgent threats.

The enrichment provided by TIPs also plays a crucial role in incident understanding and decision-
making. With access to actionable threat intelligence, security analysts can make well-informed
decisions about incident response strategies. They can feed the enriched data to different
security tools to swiftly determine the appropriate course of action, minimizing the time it takes
to mitigate threats effectively. Simply put, a SOAR solution that incorporates threat intelligence
capabilities significantly enhances the effectiveness and efficiency of incident response
processes.
