\"SOAR,<\/p>\n

The rise of Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR)<\/a> security solutions pose a challenge to businesses of all sizes. Even as enterprises adopt them, the use-cases for these cybersecurity tools continue to develop. What, exactly, can SOAR actually offer organizations in practical terms?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To answer these questions, the editors at Solutions Review decided to explore some of the major use cases of SOAR solutions. Today, we start with one of the most prominent letters in the SOAR acronym: \u201cA\u201d for automation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SOAR and Automation: What\u2019s the Problem?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Of course, we could retitle the above with \u201cwhy does your business need automation in its cybersecurity?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Evolving Nature of Digital Threats<\/b><\/h4>\n

Hackers rarely take a holiday. Instead, they continue to innovate their malware and cyber attacks. Therefore, cyber-attacks become ever more evasive, damaging, and difficult to remove. Moreover, hackers learned long ago how to make their attacks look innocuous at first or second glance. The task of simply finding a dwelling threat on the network can take up a great deal of your IT security team\u2019s time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After all, can you identify at a glance which applications have malicious intent? Or where all of your databases are located in an increasingly complex environment? Obviously, you can manually perform threat hunting, but that still requires resources and commitments. Some enterprises even resort to hiring weekend threat hunters. Needless the same, this costs a considerable amount.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These questions should give anyone pause. Especially if you feel any sort of concern with your cybersecurity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Cybersecurity Staffing Shortage<\/b><\/h4>\n
