Splunk SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation and Response) is part of the Splunk Security Operations Suite - Splunk's comprehensive information security solution. It brings significant improvement and efficiency to the Security Operations Center through fast, accurate and automated responses to security incidents and other features. This contributes to an overall increase in the level of security.
A common part of companies today is the Security Operation Center (SOC), whose task is to ensure the information security of the company. In today's digitally connected world, where security threats are constantly pouring in from all sides, this is no easy task. The number of security incidents that SOCs must deal with is constantly growing, often reaching hundreds or thousands per day. Security analysts are literally inundated with events, and it is often not in their power to respond adequately to all of them. However, it is often impossible to staff up the SOC - there is a long-term and significant shortage of security professionals. Events are often dealt with in isolation, without an understanding of the wider context - adding to the possibility that an attack will go unrecognised. There is no collaboration and orchestration between different departments and technologies.
Splunk SOAR is the tool that will allow you to solve these problems. It allows you to automate routine and repetitive operations, and allows analysts to work more efficiently. It speeds up the initial triage of events through automatic detection and investment. Reduces the response time to a security incident from hours to seconds without human intervention - response can be fully automated using ready-made playbooks. Using orchestration, it can coordinate security incident response across a range of technologies and systems. Through tools such as event management and case management, it facilitates collaboration both within the SOC and with other departments. Reporting tools enable quick and efficient analysis of SOC activity. Overall, it enhances the productivity of the SOC and thus contributes to the overall improvement of the security level.
Splunk SOAR is an open solution that can be used not only with other components of the Splunk security portfolio (Splunk SIEM, Splunk Mission Control), but also with security technologies from a number of other vendors and threat intelligence sources.
Automation :
automation of routine and repetitive activities.
Orchestration :
coordination of complex workflows involving a variety of tools and technologies. Using an advanced abstraction, the entire workflow can be controlled through a single interface, Splunk SOAR automatically "translates" the instructions appropriately for each tool/technology.
Incident response :
Splunk SOAR can automatically respond to a security incident by creating complex playbooks. These can be created in a visual editor (without writing code) or directly in Python.
Event and Alert Management :
dvanced event management. Individual events and their attributes are presented in a complete and clear format, making it easy for analysts to work. Includes event sorting, prioritization and auditing.
Case Management :
advanced security incident management. It allows you to merge several security incidents into one complex incident. Includes non-technical information - solver notes, emails, attachments, etc. Allows mapping to standard operating procedures, including involvement of other departments (legal, etc.).
Threat Intelligence :
Splunk SOAR enables the integration of virtually any TI source. It automatically incorporates TI data into event and incident resolution and provides it in a clear format to analysts.
Reporting :
Powerful reporting features enable quick and comprehensive evaluation of SOC performance through metrics such as Mean Dwell Time (MDT), Mean Time To Resolve (MTTR), amount of Full Time Equivalents (FTE) saved through automation, Return of Investment (ROI) and more.
Extensibility :
Splunk SOAR can be easily adapted to growing user needs and expanded both vertically (CPU, RAM) and horizontally (multiple instances).
Mobility :
With the mobile app, security analysts can connect to Splunk SOAR and take action against the threat anytime, anywhere.
Accelerate Security Incident Response :
Splunk SOAR allows you to accelerate your response to a security incident from hours to seconds, significantly reducing potential damage.
Integration :
Splunk SOAR allows you to integrate a wide range of technologies and systems, making effective use of all available resources to enhance security.
Freeing up resources :
Advanced automation in Splunk SOAR allows security analysts to focus on strategic activities instead of routine tasks.
Increase SOC efficiency :
Splunk SOAR allows you to increase the level of security with the same number of SOC staff.
Effective Collaboration :
Splunk SOAR enables effective collaboration within the SOC as well as with other departments to resolve security incidents.
