"An organization’s Security Operations Center (SOC) can become overwhelmed if too many alerts are generated and there are not enough SOC analysts to triage them, or skilled cybersecurity workers to fill the positions needed to respond. This is why an automated response to security incidents is a must. SOAR is the answer to an organization’s SOC overcoming these challenges. SOAR can be used to reduce the number of alerts that need investigation and triage, to automate parts of normal investigations and save SOC analysts’ time, and more importantly, to automate remediation, leading to quick actions to resolve security incidents. In this book, you will learn about security orchestration, automation, and response in depth, both in theory and principle, using real playbook examples to automate a response. You will learn about the tools available and the various methods to implement them as a partial or complete security incident response. Benjamin is a skilled professional and expert in SOAR, helping customers implement it and creating samples, shared through open source to help organizations enable their security automation."
