Data-Driven Orchestration,
Automation & Response

What a SOAR platform should be.

SOAR connects disparate systems to orchestrate and automate response. Existing SOAR platforms have taken a process-driven approach to connect products within a workflow; however, for optimal detection and response a data-driven approach is needed to prioritize data and connect systems with that data. Automating and orchestrating noisy data just amplifies the noise.

DATA-DRIVEN SOAR:

  • Simpler to set up
  • Easier to maintain
  • Uses fewer resources

Key benefits:

  • Reduce playbook runs by 80%
  • Ensure output is relevant and high priority
  • Learn from the actions taken, and improve over time
  • Easy to configure and run with existing tools

A DIFFERENT APPROACH

The current approach to security automation and orchestration does not care what data is being processed. This is inefficient for detection and response needs for two key reasons:  

1) Playbooks are run on irrelevant and low priority data, wasting time and resources
2) if you put noisy data in, the result will be amplified noise out 

When applied to detection and response, process-focused playbooks require complexity which grows exponentially as you increase the number of playbooks being used.

COMPARISON BETWEEN PROCESS-DRIVEN AND DATA-DRIVEN

DATA-DRIVEN

  • All data is contextualized, Playbook run, if needed, is based on context
  • Output is relevant and high priority, and far fewer for analysts to review
  • Data captured for further analysis and improvement
Data Driven Architecture

PROCESS-DRIVEN

  • Takes ALL data inputs and runs ALL through playbooks
  • Report/dossier for EVERY input, requiring analyst to review each one
  • Output NOT captured or used programmatically
