The increasing sophistication of threats, the volume of security-related data, the speed of threat propagation, and a shortage of staff with the necessary skills are driving the need for greater automation of security operations centers (SOCs). Despite increased budgets and recognition of the importance of the SOC, it takes an average of 277 days to detect a security breach. The most common tools for automating SOC functions include security information and event management (SIEM) platforms, security orchestration, automation, and response products (EDR), and network detection and response tools. Many organizations are using these tools to respond to evolving threats more quickly than human analysts, freeing up human analysts from mundane tasks. However, challenges include setting up and managing large datasets and managing automation tools that rely on large data analysis.
