SOAR
Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response
Platforms that automate and coordinate security operations with playbooks.
SOAR platforms orchestrate tools and automate repetitive response tasks through playbooks, reducing manual effort and shortening mean time to respond. They ingest alerts, enrich them with threat intelligence, and execute coordinated actions such as isolating a host or disabling an account. This addresses analyst fatigue and inconsistent handling in busy operations centers. The key exam contrast is with a SIEM: the SIEM focuses on collecting and correlating data to detect, while SOAR focuses on automating and coordinating the response.

Looking SOAR up is step one. Getting tested on it is step two.
