BUSINESS SURVEILLANCE orchestration layers . By adopting lowcode automation technologies , security teams are empowered to efficiently build custom workflows even when they don ’ t have coding skills or experience .
As well as building a more effective security posture , effective automation should also help teams focus on improving ROI , not least because of its scope for improving the scalability and efficiency of security workflows . For example , modern security automation platforms centralise the entire detection , analysis and response workflow from a single console , contributing to improved team visibility and productivity . This can include the removal of false positives and noise while also building better integration between external threat intelligence , internal threat intelligence and suspicious incidents . Armed with this insight , SOC teams are better placed to proactively identify , triage and mitigate threats in real time – a set of capabilities which can improve both Mean Time to Detect ( MTTD ) and Mean Time to Respond ( MTTR ) performance .
In today ’ s digitally transforming world , organisations must mitigate threats across environments more quickly than ever and without hampering operations . Automation fulfils these needs by orchestrating threat data workflows and processes across on-premise and cloud security tools . This improves SOC productivity and enables more proactive threat prevention by analysing data from diverse sources like cloud security , forensics , malware analysis , vulnerability management , data enrichment , threat intelligence , incident response and endpoint security – all from a central point . This high level of visibility and control facilitates effective response without the need to use different consoles , freeing security teams to prioritise critical tasks so they can move beyond incident management to proactively address malware , vulnerabilities and threat actors more effectively . u www . intelligentciso . com
