SOAR Automation
Automate and orchestrate your security incident response. Playbooks that execute containment actions in seconds, reducing response times from hours to milliseconds.

What is SOAR?
SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation & Response) is a platform that automates security incident response and orchestrates multiple tools to act in a coordinated manner. It reduces response times from hours to seconds.
While an analyst takes minutes to evaluate an alert and execute containment actions, a SOAR playbook does it in milliseconds. This is critical when every second counts: during a ransomware attack, 30 seconds can be the difference between a contained system and an entirely encrypted network.
Capacidades
Automation vs Orchestration
Automation
Automatic task execution
Unattended execution of repetitive security tasks: IP blocking, endpoint isolation, credential resets, URL analysis, and file hash checks.
- Automatic blocking of malicious IPs
- Isolation of infected endpoints
- Automatic attachment scanning
- Reset of compromised credentials
Orchestration
Multi-tool coordination
Intelligent coordination of multiple security tools (SIEM, EDR, firewall, IAM, ticketing) to execute complex response workflows in a unified manner.
- SIEM detects -> EDR isolates -> Firewall blocks
- Automatic alert enrichment
- Multi-level escalation
- SOC-client coordination
Ecosistema
Integrations
SOAR orchestrates all the tools in your security stack.
SIEM
Event correlation and alerts as the primary source
EDR / XDR
CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender
Firewalls
Palo Alto, Fortinet, Check Point for automatic blocking
IAM / PAM
Active Directory, Okta, CyberArk for access management
Email Security
Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Proofpoint
Ticketing
Jira, ServiceNow, PagerDuty for incident management
Playbooks
Automated Response Playbooks
Automated workflows for the most common attack scenarios.
Ransomware Response
Automatic endpoint isolation, C2 blocking at the firewall, SOC notification, forensic evidence capture, and recovery protocol activation.
Phishing Detected
Automatic URL/attachment analysis, search for other recipients, mass email deletion, domain blocking, and notification to affected users.
Suspicious Access
Geolocation verification, behavioral analysis, temporary account lockout, enhanced MFA request, and analyst escalation.
Brute Force Detected
Source IP blocking at the firewall, analysis of affected accounts, successful access verification, preventive reset, and enhanced monitoring.
Data Exfiltration
Outbound connection blocking, endpoint isolation, transferred data analysis, potential breach notification, and DFIR protocol activation.
Critical Vulnerability
Affected asset verification, exposure assessment, temporary mitigation deployment, patch planning, and stakeholder notification.

Benefits of SOAR
Response in Seconds
Response time reduced from hours to seconds. Automatic containment without waiting for human intervention.
Reduced Operational Burden
SOC analysts are freed from repetitive tasks and can focus on high-value complex investigations.
Consistent Response
Every incident is handled with the same protocol. No human errors, no missed steps, no variations between shifts.
Unlimited Scalability
Handle thousands of daily alerts without increasing headcount. SOAR scales linearly with no performance degradation.

FAQ
Preguntas Frecuentes
SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation & Response) automates incident response, while SIEM detects threats. They are complementary: SIEM generates alerts and SOAR automatically executes response actions (blocks, isolations, notifications) without human intervention.
It is not strictly necessary but highly recommended. SOAR works best when it receives alerts from a SIEM as its primary source. However, it can also integrate directly with EDR, firewalls, and other alert-generating tools.
It depends on the severity. Low/medium-criticality actions run automatically (IP blocking, URL scanning). High-criticality actions (isolating a production server, deleting data) require human approval before execution.
Basic implementation: 2-4 weeks with the 6 core playbooks. Full implementation with custom playbooks: 4-8 weeks. This includes integration with your existing tools, playbook configuration, and a tuning period.
Yes. Playbooks are fully customizable: actions, conditions, escalations, notifications, and integrations. We design specific playbooks for your environment, your SLAs, and your response protocols.
SIEM, EDR/XDR, firewalls, ticketing systems (Jira, ServiceNow), email (O365, Google Workspace), IAM (Active Directory, Okta, CyberArk), cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), and virtually any tool with an API.
Key metrics: MTTR reduction (typically 99%), increase in alerts processed (10x), reduction in escalated false positives (-92%), and reduction in cost per incident (-90%). Typical positive ROI is achieved within 6-9 months.
Minimal, thanks to multiple safeguards: playbooks tested in a staging environment, critical actions requiring human approval, automatic rollback, execution limits, and a complete audit trail of every action. Additionally, the initial configuration is validated with your team.
