What is SOAR

SIEM & SOAR Services

SOAR stands for Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response and incorporates automated responses. IT teams and security operations centre (SOC) analysts sometimes experience strain when trying to respond to numerous events and alerts. SOAR helps alleviate this strain and makes SOC processes more efficient. It works as a tool to aid in crucial security operations and improve incident response rates.

SOAR Components

The connection and the streamlining of security tools, processes and systems. SOAR security orchestration allows SOCs to coordinate the flow of their tasks and handle the massive volume of alerts generated by security tools.

A machine-based process to execute security actions to identify, investigate and remediate cyberattacks. Activities include the detection and triaging of threats and development of strategies to mitigate threats.

This is the process that an organisation manages the consequences of a data breach or cybersecurity attack. It limits the damage to your network and reduces damage, recovery time and repudiation costs.

Benefits of SOAR

SOAR provides numerous benefits to organisations that value their security solutions and take their cyber security safety seriously. Network activity is constantly increasing, and information about your security posture can be overwhelming.

This means you might need a large security operations team to monitor these systems, and SOAR negates the need for these employees. It works to keep the platforms efficient, responsive and centralised.

Because of information overload, SOC security analysts face pressure to deal with threats. SOAR platforms help by ingesting threat intelligence and correlating it with real-time events. They provide immediate, actionable information to security incident response teams, allowing them to deal with the incident promptly.

Security analysis often involves repetitive and mundane tasks as they work to handle an incident. These manual operations and tasks require human intervention, which is prone to error and can take a lot of time. A well-designed SOAR system will incorporate these tasks into playbooks and provide a step-by-step incident response strategy.

SOAR network security orchestration collects data from different sources, while security automation uses standardised playbooks to deal with alerts and incidents. These two processes ensure efficient event handling and reduce the duration and impact of a cyberattack.

Cyber security orchestration and SOAR security automation work together to combine multiple alerts from various systems. The network security orchestration then combines them into one incident. SOAR platforms help your organisation save time by responding to these alerts without human intervention, and you can handle the alerts quickly.

Cloud security orchestration can correlate alerts from various technologies, including:

Email security
IT and infrastructure
Network security
Threat intelligence
Endpoint security
Identity and access management
Forensic and malware analysis

Four Functions of SIEM Technology

1
Collect data from multiple sources, including network devices, computer servers, firewall logs, audit trail logs and antimalware events.
2
Aggregate data and identify patterns to normalise the data’s regular flow and determine its safety.
3
Detect and inspect and analyse abnormal patterns to determine and deal with potential threats.
4
Discover security breaches and generate alerts to allow SOC analysts to investigate security breaches.

Benefits of SIEM

As a managed SIEM provider, Microminder, we can provide your organisation with several benefits. Some of these include:

Talk with experts

It generates immediate and actionable alerts.
Creates customisable and easy-to-manage dashboards.
Reduces false positive alerts by assigning priority to incidents.

Allows SOC analysts access to search raw data.
Helps IT teams with regular reporting of security incidents.
Collects security data to find red flags.

Real-time analysis of security environment.
Data aggregation and normalisation.

Combining SIEM and SOAR

SOCs need to evolve as the amount of data to be analysed constantly increases. Security analysts need to ingest vast amounts of data and can no longer rely on manual processes to keep up with your cybersecurity needs efficiently.

Managed SIEM and SOAR providers help you connect separate tools and provide insightful information on incident detection, investigation and remediation.

Microminder is the ideal cyberteam to help you build and maintain your incident response processes and connect SIEM and SOAR.

When connecting the two systems, you must look at the SOAR lifecycle and consider these seven factors.

Does it have an open integration framework?
Does it provide progressive automation?
Is there comprehensive incident case management?
Is there a provision for role-based KPI dashboards?
Is there a comprehensive reporting library?
Are detailed incident reports automatically created?
