Putting humans at the frontlines of incident response is no longer sustainable. Modern SOCs are incorporating automation into their incident response workflows to maximize operational efficiencies.
REDUCTION IN REMEDIATION TIME
REDUCTION IN TIME SPENT INVESTIGATING MALWARE INCIDENTS
FEWER INCIDENTS REQUIRING MANUAL INTERACTION
What are your existing policies and processes? What tools do you use daily? Who needs to be involved in response and remediation? Standardize your processes so they are repeatable and consistent.
Are there time-consuming tasks that are part of a larger workflow? Are there tasks that impact operations if forgotten? Tackle these before you try automating a workflow end-to-end. Can’t code? Start with pre-built playbooks and integrations. XSOAR has tons to choose from, covering a wide range of common use cases. A visual editor makes it easy to make edits without touching code.
XSOAR ensures that processes produce the same outputs, the same way, every time. This speeds the onboarding of new SOC analysts, with documented best practices codified in playbooks. Consistent workflows make it easier to swap out point products, minimizing operational downtime.
Starting small gets you quick wins to justify your investment. However, to take it to the next step, you need stakeholder buy-in to effect real digital transformation in your SOC. XSOAR users who succeed in transforming their SOCs dedicate resources to their teams to drive automation progress, and identify areas where automation can be a business enabler.
