A security analyst is evaluating scenarios for deploying a SOAR solution. Which of the following scenarios is the BEST use case for implementing a SOAR platform?
Analyzing user behavior across the network to identify signs of a potential insider threat compromise
Coordinating team member shift schedules to ensure 24/7 monitoring of security dashboards
Automating repetitive tasks such as IP address blocking on a firewall
Compiling monthly compliance reports based on user access logs and system activity
The correct answer is 'Automating repetitive tasks such as IP address blocking on a firewall'. This choice aligns with SOAR's strengths, which include automating routine and repetitive tasks to save time and reduce the likelihood of human error, allowing security personnel to focus on more complex tasks that require human judgment. The other options are less suited for SOAR as they either require nuanced analysis (analyzing user behavior for signs of compromise) or are not as related to automation and response, such as coordinating team schedules or compiling reports which do not necessarily require SOAR capabilities.
