The Effective Components of Security Orchestration
It’s one thing to have a plan for security orchestration
[https://www.rapid7.com/fundamentals/security-orchestration/], but it’s another
to get it up and running and use it to its full potential.
At this point, most security professionals know that security orchestration and
automation
[https://www.rapid7.com/solutions/security-orchestration-and-automation/] are a
“need to have,” not a “nice to have,” but to fully leverage security
orchestration, there are a few considerations that will help yo

Will Investing in Security Orchestration Make Your SIEM Obsolete?
As more companies continue to adopt security orchestration, many are now
wondering if their security information and event management (SIEM)
[https://www.rapid7.com/fundamentals/siem/] systems will soon become obsolete.
Security teams use SIEMs to manage and correlate alerts from detection tools
with other data and logs. While SIEMS help to corral alerts and log data, they
often don’t do much in the way of reducing alerts or investigatory tasks after
an alert comes in.
Security teams have many

Security has always been a numbers game. Time to detection and time to response
have been metrics security teams have sought to reduce since the beginning of
time (or at least the beginning of computers…). But what does it take to

the world of security today. Between the security talent gap

3 Steps to Transform Your Security Operations with Security Orchestration
Considering the sheer number of security tools and threats out there today,
security operations [https://www.rapid7.com/solutions/secops/] can quickly get
overwhelming if you don’t have a way to manage the complexities in a systematic
fashion. Much of this management between tools and processes is done manually by
people today, but this way isn’t exactly sustainable in the long term for
security teams — especially coupled with an increasing volume of alerts, events,
and security incidents.

A Guide on Security Automation Best Practices
Ask three different security teams what is holding them back from faster
time-to-response and chances are you’ll get three different answers:
1. Manual, time-intensive processes
2. Lack of integrated tools
3. Lack of development resources
All of these problems exist across both big and small companies in any industry,
from healthcare to finance to e-commerce. But in a digital world where attacks
are both prevalent and pervasive, defenders always need to be a step (if not
two) ahead.
