A company's SOC team is looking to reduce the time it takes to investigate and respond to security alerts. They want to automate the gathering of additional context and implementing initial remediation steps based on predefined criteria. Which tool should the team implement to best address this requirement?
The correct answer is SOAR platform because these platforms are specifically designed to automate and streamline security operations tasks by integrating various security tools and processes. They assist in automating the incident response, evidence collection, and executing predefined response actions, which can significantly reduce the time for initial investigation and remediation. SIEM systems, while instrumental for log collection and event correlation, are less focused on automating response actions. EDR systems are primarily used on endpoints for detection and response but do not orchestrate across different security tools and processes. Vulnerability scanners are used to identify and assess vulnerabilities in systems, which is unrelated to the automation of incident response and remediation.
