A SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) solution is a software platform that can automate the detection and response of known threats, such as ransomware, phishing, or denial-of-service attacks. A SOAR solution can also integrate with other security tools, such as IPS, NGFW, SIEM, and threat feeds, to provide a comprehensive and dynamic security posture.
A SOAR solution would best satisfy the requirements of the online file hosting service, because it would:
Remediate threats to customer data integrity and availability first, by automatically applying predefined actions or workflows based on the severity and type of the threat. Allow the environment to be dynamic to match increasing customer demands, by scaling up or down the security resources and processes as needed.
Not interfere with customers' ability to access their data at anytime, by minimizing the human intervention and downtime required for threat response. Enable security analysts to focus on high-risk items, by reducing the manual tasks and alert fatigue associated with threat detection and response.
