So you’ve set up a Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) platform. You’re now ready to detect, respond to and remediate whichever threats cyberspace throws at you, right? Well, not necessarily. In order to deliver their maximum value, SOAR tools should be combined with playbooks, which can be used to drive SOAR systems and ensure that SOARs remediate threats as quickly as possible — in some cases, without even waiting on humans to respond.

In the previous blog post, we discussed the importance of having a successful Incident Response Plan. In this blog post, we will go over the steps necessary to contain a breach. Containment is key to preventing the breach from spreading and affecting other parts of your business. By following these six steps, you can minimize the damage caused by a data breach and improve your chances of recovering quickly.

In our last blog post, we discussed the importance of having a solid Incident Response plan in place. In this blog post, we will discuss the next step in that process: identification. Once you have determined that an incident has occurred, it is important to identify the scope of the issue as quickly as possible. This will help you determine the best course of action and ensure that your response is effective.

In the event of a data breach or security incident, having a well-defined incident response procedure can help contain the damage and minimize the risk of future incidents.
