Proactive Response

Developing proactive response to threats is a crucial capability in building digital resilience. Legacy SIEM and traditional security analytics solutions can hinder threat detection, limiting visibility and inundating security teams with alerts and false positives. To overcome these challenges, security analytics tools like Splunk SOAR play a critical role. They automatically identify anomalous activity, enrich and prioritize alerts for further investigation, and automate repetitive tasks to increase efficiency and productivity. A proactive approach is crucial as it significantly reduces the potential impact of incidents, preventing customer-facing disruptions and mitigating the financial costs associated with prolonged downtime. 

Use the guidance in the following topics to help develop proactive response capabilities:

• Automate Threat Analysis helps you use advanced software tools and algorithms that quickly derive associated forensics, verdicts and scores to accelerate alert triage.
• Automate Containment & Response Actions helps you use workflow actions, or playbooks, that process repetitive and ordinary alerts, leaving analysts to handle the most sensitive and unique incidents.
• Orchestrating Response Workflows helps you automate incident responses, fostering a more proactive response to potential threats.
