How Smart SOAR Drives Business Value

Security practitioners face an ever-increasing volume of security alerts, with false positive rates going as high as 99%, according to a 2022 University of Oxford study. Through automation features like our Event Pipeline and pre-defined playbooks, Smart SOAR can significantly reduce false positives by as much as 98%, allowing SOC teams to focus on high-impact investigations. This translates to faster threat detection and resolution, minimizing potential business disruption and reputational damage. Read the whitepaper to gain insights into how Smart SOAR platforms can deliver measurable business value for your organization, aligning security operations with strategic objectives.

How to Successfully Deploy SOAR

If you haven’t used SOAR before, you probably have a lot of questions about deploying it in your organization. Our new guide offers winning strategies for a streamlined SOAR implementation. You’ll gain insights why you should start with data normalization, and how it pays dividends in terms of simplifying playbook development and deployment. The whitepaper gives pointers on two other key milestones that you can focus on next: artifact enrichment and report generation.

How to Protect Against Business Email Compromise Phishing with Smart SOAR

Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks are a type of social engineering scam designed to trick email recipients into surrendering money or confidential information. These attacks have become a major threat, with one study noting a staggering 108% year-on-year increase in attacks in 2023. Smart SOAR’s effectiveness against this threat stems from its integrations with hundreds of security tools, which empower security teams to automate response actions and expedite threat response. This whitepaper walks you through three Smart SOAR playbooks that help security teams combat BEC attacks, using leading security solutions.
