Why this module exists. SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) is what scales a small SOC team to handle large alert volume. This module covers the SOAR architecture, where automation works vs where it doesn’t, and the playbook patterns that produce real efficiency gains.

What SOAR does

  • Orchestration: connect security tools via API; trigger actions across them.
  • Automation: execute repeatable workflows without human intervention.
  • Case management: structured incident workflow with audit trail.
  • Playbook execution: pre-defined response runbooks triggered by alert type.
