To combat the evolving tactics of threat actors, automation is essential for a modern SOC to respond swiftly to incidents. The SOC should utilize tools that automatically orchestrate solutions to address environmental threats.
The SOAR strategy enables the SOC to leverage actionable data for real-time threat mitigation, addressing the gap between the rapid spread of attacks and the slower detection times typical in organizations.
SOAR incorporates concepts like Infrastructure as Code (IAC) for rebuilding and remediating threats and Software Defined Networking (SDN) for more efficient access control, among other strategies.
