Enhance your cybersecurity defenses with expert insights.
When it comes to incident response, SOC teams must shift their thinking to an automation-first mindset.
Putting humans at the frontlines of incident response is no longer sustainable. Modern SOCs are incorporating automation into their incident response workflows to maximize operational efficiencies.
Reduce alert noise and surface critical incidents
Eliminate repetitive, manual tasks
Facilitate analyst investigation and collaboration
Map external threats to SOC incidents

A future-proof SOC for the public sector
The State of North Dakota Information Technology (NDIT) supports the technology needs of state government, K–12 and higher education, and local communities. The scale and complexity of this network rivals that of a Fortune 30 company, making security as much of a challenge as it is a priority. To achieve its security goals, NDIT chose the Cortex platform as the foundation for its next-generation security operations center (SOC). NDIT leverages Cortex XSOAR automation to help streamline its operational workflows, allowing NDIT to achieve operational efficiencies equivalent to the addition of eight to 10 SOC analysts.
196 playbooks help close over 60% of incidents.

Build Your Own Security Automation Program
Here are four tips we’ve garnered from working on thousands of SOAR deployments:
Before you SOAR
What are your existing policies and processes? What tools do you use daily? Who needs to be involved in response and remediation? Standardize your processes so they are repeatable and consistent.
Start simple
Are there time-consuming tasks that are part of a larger workflow? Are there tasks that impact operations if forgotten? Tackle these before you try automating a workflow end-to-end. Can’t code? Start with pre-built playbooks and integrations. XSOAR has tons to choose from, covering a wide range of common use cases. A visual editor makes it easy to make edits without touching code.
Be predictable
XSOAR ensures that processes produce the same outputs, the same way, every time. This speeds the onboarding of new SOC analysts, with documented best practices codified in playbooks. Consistent workflows make it easier to swap out point products, minimizing operational downtime.
Get a champion
Starting small gets you quick wins to justify your investment. However, to take it to the next step, you need stakeholder buy-in to effect real digital transformation in your SOC. XSOAR users who succeed in transforming their SOCs dedicate resources to their teams to drive automation progress, and identify areas where automation can be a business enabler.
Take It to the Next Level
These are just a sample of things you are doing every day that can be automated. Our Cortex Customer Success and Professional Services teams can help you optimize your deployment to realize the full potential of your automation investment.
