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. This means they need systems that can achieve objectives such as:

  • Reducing the number of IT staff
  • Saving employees time performing security tasks
  • Encouraging staff to engage in creative and profit-making activities

SOAR Components

Managed SIEM & SOAR Services

Security orchestration

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.

Security automation

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.

Incident response

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.

Threat intelligence

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.

Reduce manual tasks

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.

Streamline security operations

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.

Faster alert response time

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.

Integrate with security technologies

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

What is SIEM

SIEM or Security Information and Event Management services provide organisations that value the use of IT security technology with:

  • Security analytics
  • Incident response
  • Threat detection,

SIEM combines Security Information Management (SIM) and Security Event Management (SEM) tools.

These two security strategies collect data in log files and combine them with threat intelligence. SEM alerts individuals of security events provided by firewalls, antivirus, and intruder detection systems. SIEM provides evidence of security incidents that could lead to a harmful cyberattack. Managed SIEM managers can differentiate between normal and abnormal network behaviours to study data and usage patterns. It works to detect and flag potential cyberattacks or threats.

Features of SIEM

SIEM service providers provide solutions that combine machine learning and artificial intelligence to recognise and provide security against potential threats. A SIEM service will have basic features such as:

  • Threat detection
  • Alert generation
  • Security monitoring
  • Incident reporting
  • Data collection

 

We help you correctly implement advanced features and capabilities to avoid detecting abnormal activities. Mindfire will help you understand the benefits of SIEM monitoring and what you can expect from SIEM tools to get the most out of these features. We will also configure the system to meet business compliance and connect it to various data sources.

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.
