How Integrating SIEM With SOAR Enhances The Effectiveness Of A SOC

 Building a productive & fully functioning SOC is crucial for every organization due to the current threat landscape. Threat actors are becoming more sophisticated by each passing day, leaving almost no trace of familiar patterns in their attacks, forcing SOC teams to use their full potential.

To do so, SOC teams need to bring efficiency into their processes, while also improving their incident response strategies, all of which are getting hampered by the sheer number of security alerts generated by their security solutions like SIEM.

 

Why do SOC teams need SOAR if they already have a SIEM?

 For SIEMs to differentiate between normal & suspicious, it needs to be periodically upgraded & tuned, which is typically done by engineers & analysts. However, responding to a plethora of alerts triggered by a SIEM still remains a manual process. For every alert generated, analysts need to review & investigate it, determining if the alert is a false positive or an actual incident that requires further investigation & remediation, which again is a manual process.

While most SIEMs possess a wide range of capabilities, they were not created to unify technologies, processes & people within a SOC. This is exactly where a SOAR solution comes into play.

While SIEM takes care of detecting potential security incidents & generates alerts for them, SOAR takes these alerts to the next level by triaging data, responding to them & taking remediation steps where deemed necessary, thus adding significant value to the existing SIEM solution being used.
