Introducing Our New SOAR Integrations: Why Panorama and FortiManager Users Should Be Excited

Hello there, cybersecurity aficionados! We're thrilled to unveil our latest and greatest Splunk SOAR apps, tailored for the giants of the firewall space: Panorama and FortiManager. These sophisticated apps help us deliver the most compelling automation for our community, no matter the tools they have deployed. Much like our playbooks packs from earlier this year, these integrations are another great way for users to align their incident response approach to MITRE D3FEND.

Reduce Operational Complexity with Splunk SOAR Logic Loops

Last week, we released Splunk SOAR 6.2 (Security Orchestration Automation and Response) and in the accompanying announcement blog, we highlighted some of the new key features found in this release. Today, we want to take a more in-depth look at one of those features, logic loops, and show how they make it easier than ever for security engineers and analysts to save time and cut down on repetitive manual tasks.

Splunk SOAR Logic Loops Demo

Logic Loops are a feature in Splunk SOAR that allow users to reduce the operational complexity of building and maintaining playbooks that require repeatable looping functionalities without having to write their own custom code. This iterative function allows users to automatically retry playbook actions if they fail, or continue with the rest of the playbook when the action succeeds. This function can be applied to use cases like sandbox engines for malicious URL quarantine and remediation as well as forensic investigation workflows.

SOAR: Security Orchestration, Automation & Response

An important piece of cybersecurity, SOAR solutions provide a single location for you to observe, understand, and decide how to respond to security incidents. Short for security orchestration, automation and response, true SOAR solutions are operational tools that can be very flexible and powerful, useful even beyond security use cases. In this article, we’ll explore what SOAR is, why it’s important for enterprises and how you can get the most value from your SOAR solution.
