Lift Your Spirits With Splunk SOAR

Halloween is just around the corner and we’re looking forward to trick-or-treating, donning our best costumes, and watching movies. A few of my favorite movies that I watch around Halloween time remind me of our most recent Splunk SOAR updates. Is that a stretch? Possibly. But hey it’s Halloween, let’s have some fun and I’ll try to make it as humerus as possible 💀

Splunk SOAR Feature Overview: Visual Playbook Editor + Input Playbooks

Splunk SOAR’s new, modern visual playbook editor makes it easier than ever to create, edit, implement and scale automated playbooks to help your team eliminate security analyst grunt work, and respond to security incidents at machine speed. Now, anyone can automate, allowing your team to achieve faster time to value from your SOAR tool. In this demo, we'll show you how to build an "input playbook". Input playbooks are used to automate simple IT and security tasks, and can then be leveraged as part of larger, more complex playbooks for a more modular approach to automation.

Splunk SOAR Feature Overview: App Editor

A common task on the Splunk SOAR platform is installing a new app, or updating existing apps. Apps extend the Splunk SOAR platform by integrating third-party security products and tools.

We currently offer more than 350 premade apps that are accessible right now.

How Cloud SOAR mitigates the cybersecurity skill gap problem in modern SOCs

Even though the cybersecurity skill gap dropped for the first time in recorded history in 2020, it is still one of the most pressing problems in the industry. Demand continues to eclipse the supply of skilled cybersecurity professionals. The scarcity of qualified security workers with the right skill set, experience, and talent means that critical vulnerabilities turn many organizations into sitting ducks in the eyes of hackers.
