A security analyst is determining the best solution to enhance the security team's capability to quickly respond to and resolve alerts on a network with a high volume of security events. Which of the following options will BEST accomplish this objective?
Upgrading to a more advanced firewall to better control incoming and outgoing network traffic
Increasing the log retention period within the SIEM system to allow more data for manual incident investigation
Implementing a SOAR platform that automates incident response procedures and orchestrates security tasks across different tools
Deploying additional intrusion detection systems to increase the detection rate of security events
SOAR platforms are designed to help organizations efficiently and effectively respond to security events by automating workflows and orchestrating various security tasks. They are not just about automation, but also about integrating different security tools and providing a coordinated response to incidents. This results in a faster response time, reduced manual effort, and a more streamlined security operation. While all the other options mentioned can be components of a SOAR solution, it is the SOAR platform itself that provides the necessary infrastructure for orchestration and automation.
