Definition

SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) refers to a category of security solutions that streamline security operations by automating incident response, orchestrating workflows, and managing security data. These platforms enable security teams to respond to incidents more efficiently by integrating various security tools and processes, thus reducing the time to detect and respond to threats. SOAR solutions typically include capabilities for case management, threat intelligence, and automated response actions.
