Security Orchestration Automation and Response
Security Orchestration Automation and Response (SOAR) is a platform that integrates security tools and automates incident response workflows. It collects data from various security systems, orchestrates actions across them, and automates repetitive tasks to improve efficiency and response times. SOAR helps security teams manage threats more effectively by providing a centralized system for incident management, investigation, and remediation.
Developers and security professionals should learn SOAR when working in environments with complex security infrastructures that require coordinated responses to threats. It is particularly useful for automating incident triage, enrichment, and response in Security Operations Centers (SOCs), reducing manual effort and minimizing human error. Use cases include integrating SIEM tools, automating threat intelligence feeds, and streamlining compliance reporting.
