Splunk SOAR Playbook of the Month: Splunk Attack Analyzer Dynamic Analysis

Alert triage can be a very cumbersome and time consuming process for SOC teams. Our recent State of Security report found that 26% of respondents agree that the volume of alerts they deal with makes it difficult to keep up with addressing emergencies. While tools like virtual sandboxes can help analysts better test and understand the severity of the threats they encounter, the process of testing and documenting results can add further tedium to an already prolonged process.

Falcon Fusion SOAR and Machine Learning-based Detections Automate Data Protection Workflows

Time is of the essence when it comes to protecting your data, and often, teams are sifting through hundreds or thousands of alerts to try to pinpoint truly malicious user behavior. Manual triage and response takes up valuable resources, so machine learning can help busy teams prioritize what to tackle first and determine what warrants further investigation.

Stop SOAR From Killing Your SOC Budget With Hyperautomation

Cyberthreats are escalating and SOC budgets are tightening. It’s a recipe for disaster, that is, unless you take advantage of new technologies that keep both in check. The fact is, businesses are now spending nearly a third of their cybersecurity budget towards running an in-house SOC, averaging out to $2.86 million per year, according to Ponemon.

Splunk SOAR Playbook of the Month: Cisco Umbrella DNS Denylisting

Given the recent exciting news of Splunk becoming part of Cisco, for this edition of Splunk SOAR Playbook of the Month, we thought what better way to showcase how the combination of Cisco and Splunk can help users achieve more comprehensive security than through a playbook that combines the power of Cisco Umbrella and Splunk SOAR.

Short Staffed? Try Using SOAR to Augment Your Security Team

The tech world is grappling with an imbalance between skilled technical talent availability and demand, with far-reaching impacts.

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.
