How Automation Playbooks Double Down on the Value of SOARs

So you’ve set up a Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) platform. You’re now ready to detect, respond to and remediate whichever threats cyberspace throws at you, right? Well, not necessarily.

An Introduction to SOC Automation

The Security Operations Center, or SOC, is the backbone of modern security operations. By centralizing security monitoring, detection, and response, SOCs help organizations manage security risks more efficiently and effectively. But simply setting up a SOC doesn’t guarantee optimal security workflows. To get the very most from your SOC, you must automate its operations as much as possible.

Process automation has the potential to enhance operations in most organizations, but problems can emerge when they don’t plan and strategize around their automation objectives.

When to Automate and When Not to Automate

Everyone loves automation, and it can be easy to assume that the more you automate, the better. Indeed, falling short of achieving fully autonomous processes can feel like a defeat. If you don't automate completely, you're the one falling behind, right? Well, not exactly. Although automation is, in general, a good thing, there is such a thing as too much automation.

What Is MITRE D3FEND, and How Do You Use It?

MITRE is a world-renowned research organization that aims to help build a safer world. It is probably best known in the information security industry for being the organization behind the industry-standard CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) list. Each entry on the list is supposed to include an explanation of how the vulnerability could be exploited. These attack vectors are tracked and defined in another well-known knowledge base called ATT&CK, which is also maintained by MITRE.
