Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) platforms automate and streamline security operations by integrating disparate security tools, orchestrating workflows and enabling automated response actions. SOAR reduces the manual workload on security teams by automatically triaging alerts, enriching them with contextual data and executing predefined response playbooks for common incident types.

By dramatically reducing mean time to detect and respond, SOAR platforms help organisations manage the growing volume of security alerts without proportionally increasing headcount. They also improve consistency in incident handling and provide detailed audit logs, which support compliance requirements and post-incident reviews for continuous improvement.
