Three strong arguments why SOAR is employed in cybersecurity are: First, it radically enhances operational effectiveness through automation of repetitive processes like alert triage and evidence collection to allow security analysts to work on the highest priority threats, and reduces the mean time to response (MTTR) in highly dynamic networks. Second, SOAR provides an opportunity to harmoniously integrate a variety of security tools into cohesive work processes, which contributes to a higher level of collaboration and coordination, which removes silos and results in the organization-wide consistency in addressing threats. Third, using predefined playbooks and AI-assisted decision support, SOAR reduces its human error and analyst burnout to maximize accuracy in incident resolutions and to scale security operations to increasing attack surfaces without proportional growth in staffing.
