“The key is to leverage automation. SOAR helps in achieving this," Motiwala says. "One of the most important components of SOAR is orchestration, which involves controlling and activating security tools from a central location. SOAR does it beautifully using playbooks."

- Why SOC automation should be a priority;
- SOC automation strategic tips;
- How to build an effective SOC.
