How SOAR Technology has Made SOC More Efficient

Every organization, large or small, requires an effective and fully functional SOC team. Given the fact that cybersecurity threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated at leaving no traces, ensuring that your security operations center (SOC) is fully utilized is crucial. 72 percent of businesses believe that managed security services like SOC are the key to their cybersecurity strategy. 


But just investing in cybersecurity and building a SOC team isn't enough. It's important to know how to make the best use of every resource to ensure your SOC is up and running. In this blog, we'll show you how SOAR can help you unlock the full potential of your SOC team and enhance your cybersecurity posture. 


What is SOAR? 


The SOC team's role is to identify, assess, and act on any alert that could jeopardize the organization's integrity. SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) enables businesses to gather vast amounts of data and alerts from a multitude of sources and develop automated systems for dealing with security incidents. It is obvious that a SOC team's effectiveness is directly related to its technology solutions and SOAR improves almost every aspect of your SOC team. 


SOAR pushes the boundaries of what SOC teams can achieve in the following ways: 


1. Skill Shortage 


According to research, 40% of organizations are experiencing SOC staffing shortages. SOAR minimizes the need for security professionals to deal with tiresome and repetitive activities. Not just that, SOAR also boosts the SOC's threat hunting capability and substantially improves coordination among all SOC team members.

 

2. Fast Response Time 


SOAR's machine learning engine can identify false positives and perform low-risk activities without the need for human intervention, resulting in a faster reaction time. With SOAR, your SOC teams can be effective at removing false positives and focusing on serious threats. 


3. Automate Repetitive Tasks 


Three out of every five managed security and SOC employees admitted to stress making them consider quitting jobs or even switching careers. SOAR automates monotonous and repetitive security procedures enabling security experts to focus on operations that need more in-depth knowledge.
