What is a SOAR Platform?

Gartner defines security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) as being grounded in the convergence of three technology solutions security orchestration and automation, threat intelligence platforms and security incident response platforms. Various vendors approach SOAR platforms differently, with some focusing on automating processes and others focused on curating the right data to support operations and workflows. Organizations considering a SOAR platform should evaluate options based on use cases and the gaps needed to fill within their security operations.
ThreatQ Threat Intelligence Platform

Regardless of the approach, threat intelligence is critical to ensure a SOAR platform is executing the right actions and using the right data. Data, especially with the increasingly large data sets security teams use, can be extremely noisy. Automate noise and the result will be amplified noise. A data-driven approach to SOAR provides high confidence in the intelligence being used, the decisions that are made and the incident response workflows that are executed. The ThreatQ platform is the engine behind a data-driven, no-code/low-code approach aggregating, scoring, and prioritizing intelligence so that security operations can operate more efficiently and effectively.

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

HOW THREATQ WORKS:

ThreatQ DataLinq Engine

DATALINQ ENGINE™

Combine Threat Data From Any Source, Internal And External

Connecting disparate systems and sources, this adaptive data engine imports and aggregates external and internal data; curates and analyzes data for decision making and action; and exports the right intelligence to the right tools at the right time to accelerate threat detection, investigation and response (TDIR).

  • INGEST and aggregate structured and unstructured data via Marketplace apps and an open API 
  • NORMALIZE automatically from different sources, formats and languages into a single object 
  • CORRELATE across atomic pieces of data to identify relationships and provide a unified view 
  • PRIORITIZE via customer controlled, dynamic scoring to ensure relevance and filter noise
  • TRANSLATE data into the format and language necessary for consumption across systems
ThreatQ Threat Library

THREAT LIBRARY

Shared Contextual Intelligence

Using ThreatQ as a threat intelligence platform equips you with a threat library that automatically scores and prioritizes intelligence based on parameters you set. Prioritization is calculated across many sources, both external and internal, to deliver a single source of truth using aggregated context. This removes noise, reduces false positives and enables users to focus on the data that really matters.

  • Extensible Data Model
  • Consolidated view, unified opinion
  • Automatically prioritize based on all sources
  • Custom enrichment source for existing systems
  • Define Smart Collections for workflows and automation

THREATQ TDR ORCHESTRATOR

Data-drive, no-code/low-code automation

ThreatQ TDR Orchestrator simplifies orchestration and automation through a no-code/low-code, data-driven approach which “puts the smarts into the platform.” ThreatQ does this through data curation and extracts much of the complexity of process-driven playbooks. Update the platform once vs having to update dozens of playbooks. 

  • Easy to set-up and maintain
  • Reduce playbook runs by 80%
  • Ensure output is relevant and high priority
  • Learn from the actions taken, and improve over time
  • Harness Generative AI and Natural Language Processing (NLP)
ThreatQ Investigations - TQI

THREATQ INVESTIGATIONS

The industry’s first cybersecurity situation room

ThreatQ Investigations removes the collaboration and coordination inefficiencies that exist across security operations to accelerate detection and response. As the first cybersecurity situation room, it streamlines investigations and improves active collaboration among and across teams. Team leaders can direct actions, assign tasks and see the results unfold in near real time.

  • Fuse together threat data, actions, and users
  • Combine automation and human intelligence
  • Accelerate investigation, understanding and response to threats
  • Build incident, adversary and campaign timelines
  • Drive down mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR)
