SOAR solutions represent a substantial leap forward in cybersecurity, by automating the mundane mitigation tasks to reduce the meantime to respond to an incident. Such solutions can be achieved by integrating security products that detect security incidents with products that can respond to these incidents using automated scripts/APIs. Gartner defined the market segment of security technologies/solutions that enable IT security to reduce the incident response time by taking mitigation actions using automated workflows as Security Orchestration Automation and Response (SOAR).

IT security organizations are looking for ways to improve threat detection efficiencies and speed up incident response by replacing repetitive manual tasks with automated workflows, so a limited set of security analysts can focus on the tougher security problems that truly require their deeper analysis and triage skills. Need for SOAR to Speed Up Incident Response Only 4% of the alerts get investigated – there are not enough humans to keep up with the security alerts. Cybersecurity Skills Shortage: The global IT security skills shortage has surpassed 4 million, according to ISC 2.A single security analyst can handle only 10 alerts per day. Alert Fatigue: 92% of companies get more than 500 alerts per day.Too Many Products: Large enterprises have deployed 30+ security products on an average, and they have staff or expertise to manage only 12 of them.To protect themselves from an ever-growing number of cyber-attacks, companies have deployed too many security products, which are generating too many alerts, and they do not have enough IT staff with cybersecurity skills to triage and respond to these alerts. Several operational challenges plague the IT security teams in companies today.
