Full-code, legacy Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) solutions tend to be overly complex and resource intensive. They require dedicated developers to build integrations and customize playbooks. This leaves smaller or less mature security operations centers (SOCs) ill-equipped to successfully handle legacy SOARs.
Beyond that, legacy SOAR solutions tend to lock organizations into certain vendors and allow little to no ability to automate beyond SOC use cases. They also tend to have been acquired by larger security vendors, slowing down innovation and hindering the ability to integrate with other tools.
That’s why Swimlane’s low-code security automation hits that sweet spot between overly complex full-code solutions and feature/flexibility-poor no-code solutions. The solution is user-friendly, flexible, and powerful enough to automate any security process. Plus it successfully keeps up with an ever-changing threat environment to advance operational efficiency for your business time and time again.
Like our GRC solution, Swimlane’s SOAR is the best in the game. It’s the one we trust.
Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR)
The resulting environment is an always-on, active, autonomous, and adaptable window into your security and privacy programs. CyberCTRL is your “single pane of glass,” powered by low-code security automation, that delivers on the promise of XDR—no matter how complex or decentralized your environment.
Constantly updated by the latest threat and intelligence feeds, CyberCTRL keeps its finger on the pulse of your infrastructure 24×7. It integrates telemetry from every single source in your environment; correlates the results; and reports back to you a fully developed incident response workflow (not just a bunch of meaningless alerts!). These can either be automatically executed or collaboratively produced by your security experts and ours. Moreover, all integrations (not the actual software) and configurations are included as part of the subscription price, including all the necessary work to “load up the system” and tune it to your specific environment.
Turbine
It is different from the traditional security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) platforms that are notoriously complex and used exclusively to automate basic security operations center (SOC) workflows like SIEM alert triage, phishing, and threat intelligence.
CyberCTRL, through the Turbine Active Sensing Fabric, makes the evolution of security operations possible. Turbine is built to ingest petabytes of data from distributed big data sets. This is important because modern infrastructure has to account for various data streams with webhooks, poll requests, pub/sub, file creation, SMS messages, email messages, and IoT. Turbine ingests from all of these sources, in addition to SIEM logs as needed, in order to move action closer to the source to reduce dwell time. The Active Sensing Fabric listens across the security ecosystem, taking immediate action directly at the source.
