PlexTrac ConceptsSecurity Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR)

Security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) is a technology that integrates and automates security operations, incident response, and threat management. It focuses on streamlining the security lifecycle by reducing manual efforts and improving response times through AI and automated security processes.

SOAR typically encompasses vast security efforts, including incident response, vulnerability management, threat hunting, phishing, and threat detection and response. 

Security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) technology works by integrating security tools, teams, and processes into a centralized platform. This centralized view empowers organizations to operate across different tools and teams seamlessly, automating repetitive tasks, and improving visibility and communication of threats.

Some benefits of security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) include:

• Stronger security posture due to automated incident response
• Improved security operations with integrated tools
• Reduced noise and better alert management for prioritization
• Better collaboration between security teams and tools
• Reduced costs of previous manual labor

Some challenges of security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) include:

• Implementing, integrating current tools, and maintaining a SOAR tool requires expertise
• May potentially lack customizations that an organization may need
• Upfront costs of implementation and management can be expensive
• SOAR tools need to be vetted carefully to ensure they meet industry and regulatory compliance

PlexTrac is the #1 AI-powered pentest reporting and vulnerability data management platform. By ingesting and aggregating data from a wide variety of offensive security tools as well as manual testing activities, PlexTrac helps teams manage their proactive security processes efficiently. Results from PlexTrac can be integrated into a SOAR ecosystem to inform automated detection and response while PlexTrac’s contextual risk scoring and tracking capabilities support effective manual remediation.
