An organization is seeking to improve its security response times and reduce manual oversight in its security operations center (SOC). Which of the following would BEST achieve these goals by allowing security alerts to be automatically enriched with contextual information and trigger coordinated defense mechanisms?
Single pane of glass
Application programming interface (API)
Webhook
Security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR)
The correct answer is Security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) as it is a solution specifically designed to automate and streamline security operations. SOAR platforms can integrate with various security tools to standardize and automate responses to security alerts, thus improving efficiency and reducing the need for manual intervention. An Application programming interface (API) does enable interaction between different software, but on its own, it doesn't provide automation or orchestration capabilities. A Webhook can be used to trigger an action, but lacks the orchestration and extensive automation capabilities provided by SOAR platforms. A Single pane of glass refers to a management tool that integrates information but not processes, its primary function is to give an overview rather than to automate responses.
