Surging cyberattacks against DoD networks bombards
analysts in security operations centers (SOCs) with security alerts. With so
many cyber events, it’s hard for analysts to differentiate true alerts from
false ones, to determine which are priority threats. Through no fault of their
own, analysts end up chasing false alarms when that time is better spent on urgent
mission-critical activities.
There is a clear solution for this: automation. While popular
in commercial software segments for years, DoD security teams are just
beginning to realize the benefits of what’s known as SOAR – security
orchestration, automation, and response..
In this Breaking Defense Game Changer, we show how SOAR
technology can help DoD security teams work to identify, analyze, and mitigate
threats, improve efficiency and shorten incident response times. SOAR
technology can help the military remove obstacles and maximize productivity of
skilled personnel so they can get back to accomplishing their true
mission–support of the warfighter.
