Cybercriminals constantly looking for new ways to attack. For some of them, finding security holes is of sporting interest, while for others it is a major source of income. The constant search for ways to compromise data is ongoing, the methods used are becoming more cunning and sophisticated, and the flaws found almost immediately become public.
Research shows that SOCs in organizations are extremely overloaded with the number of alerts and threat notifications and this situation is getting worse year by year. Nowadays, a person can no longer compete with a computer in speed, and sometimes - in the quality of decisions. It is not surprising that in the field of combating cyber threats, where quick response is very important, corporate information security services have begun to rely more and more on automation tools – so, it’s not a surprise that SOAR solutions have become one of the main information security trends recently.
According to Gartner, by 2020 15% of the companies in which the IS department consists of 5 or more people, will use the SOAR system (security operations, analytics and reporting).
What does it do?
The Siemplify SOAR platform combines security orchestration, automation, and response with end-to-end security operations management to make analysts more productive, security engineers more effective, and managers more informed about the SOC.
The main indicator of the effectiveness of the implemented SOAR solution is a significant reduction (by several times, and sometimes by orders of magnitude) in the response time to an identified incident. In addition, Siemplify platform allows you to track, measure and improve SOC performance.
