SOAR stands for Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response. It is a platform that helps security teams manage alerts and incidents more efficiently by automating repetitive tasks and connecting different security tools.
A SOAR system collects alerts from sources like SIEM, EDR, and firewalls, then organizes them into cases. It runs automated workflows, called playbooks, to investigate and respond. For example, it can automatically isolate a device, block an IP address, or request user verification without waiting for human action.
The goal of SOAR is to reduce response time, eliminate manual errors, and let analysts focus on complex threats instead of routine alerts. It improves collaboration, consistency, and the overall speed of a Security Operations Center (SOC).
