SOAR
Security Orchestration, Automation & Response (SOAR) acts as the beating heart of our MDR platform. At this central point, the detections from the various Extended Detection and Response platforms (such as Network Detection and Response and Endpoint Detection and Response) come together.
Bring all detections together
Security Orchestration, Automation & Response (SOAR) is the beating heart of our Managed Detection and Response services. This is where detections from the various Extended Detection and Response (XDR) platforms, including Network Detection and Response, Endpoint Detection and Response and Security Log Monitoring, together.
SOAR normalizes the detection data from the XDR platforms, so we are not bound to the services of a specific supplier. By bringing this data together centrally, we can perform cross-correlations over the detected incidents. In addition, the data is supplemented and enriched with information from, for example, vulnerability management, deep and dark web and threat intelligence sources.
In this way, our approach results in a comprehensive and coherent overview of the attack chain, allowing us to identify threats at an early stage and, where possible, to mitigate them immediately.
Why is SOAR important?
Efficiency
Recurring activities can be streamlined using standardized and automated procedures. This shortens the response time of the SOC analysts in the event of a potential incident and increases efficiency. By using (automated) response mechanisms, incidents can be responded to quickly, limiting the impact on your organisation.
Scalable
A SOAR solution must be able to integrate with a large number of security solutions, such as a SIEM, EDR, firewalls, etc. Our SOAR solution is designed to handle large amounts of data and resources without sacrificing detection speed. The architecture, infrastructure and implementation are all aimed at being able to efficiently adapt to a rapidly changing environment.
Visibility
Good visibility of what's happening in networks, on endpoints, in the cloud. In addition, it is important that the signals from all these systems are correlated with each other and, if necessary, enriched with threat intelligence and other contextual information. This approach results in a comprehensive and coherent overview of the attack chain, allowing us to detect and mitigate threats at an early stage.
SOAR added value
Where a SIEM is primarily developed to collect, analyze and correlate relevant security data, a SOAR solution goes further. SOAR offers a holistic approach to addressing potential threats.
Applying a SOAR solution reduces false positives through the automated analysis and correlation of data. This allows SOC analysts to focus on real threats. In addition, SOAR enables faster incident response through automated workflows and immediate actions. The response time is thus significantly reduced.
Threat intelligence
SOAR also improves threat intelligence by integrating various sources and real-time updates, leading to better insight into, and response to, possible threats.
Thanks to the advanced integration of various security tools and systems, centralized and efficient management of security incidents is made possible.
