How To Select Security Orchestration VendorSiemplify
Security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) vendors offer SOCs the best solution against the burgeoning problem of having too many security tools but not enough in-house talent to use them effectively. They enable security operations teams to integrate disparate cybersecurity technologies and processes into a more cohesive security ecosystem, in turn allowing these teams to work more efficiently against the growing onslaught of cyber threats.

Security orchestration and automation for MSSPs alleviates these challenges and makes the process run effectively and efficiently. Automation and orchestration methods impact MSSPs in several important ways. Here’s how:
Automation : Enables response to low level tasks, while freeing analysts for higher value
Orchestration : One responsibility of an MSSP is to manage the tasks of client SOCs.

From SIEMs and web application firewalls (WAF) to intrusion detection systems (IDS) and anti-malware solutions, MSSPs must be ready to manage them all.
Below is a quick look at what you should be looking for when exploring security orchestration solutions if you, or someone you love, is part of an MSSP.

As a security professional, I see shoring up security operations as critical to the stability and success of companies across many industries. The joint ESG and Siemplify research on Security Operations validates these points and many others that I witness everyday. While still an emerging category, Security Orchestration demands are here to stay and accelerating.
It’s a fair question and one that is compounded by the convergence we see happening across many categories within cybersecurity. Security operations teams have a broad spectrum of choices from pure-play security orchestration and automation platforms to traditional SIEMs that are adding orchestration capabilities.

CyberSecurity Strategy For Defendable ROISiemplify
Incident Response is key. After you have set up the wall of defense, and it is penetrated, you have to be the one armed to the teeth with weapons for a response, reporting, and remediation. After 10 years of honed in focus on prevention, and day to day analysts inundated with alerts, the industry is finally beginning to rely on next-generation incident response platforms capable of building actionable threat storyline, true alert prioritization and powerful case management. Developing a consistent strategy among your staff and being able to report on the actions taken to remediate the most important alerts is essential.
This presentation showcased live during the DNIF KONNECT meetup on 19th December 2019. We have our presenter: Ruchir Shah- Account Manager at DNIF, walk us through the importance of SOAR

Real-time fallacy: how real-time your security really is?Anton Chuvakin
While the claims that "modern business works in real-time and so the security should too" are often heard from various vendors, it appears that few organizations are able to achieve that at the moment. This paper will look at the real-time requirements of the whole organization's security posture.
Have your incident response time numbers been slipping? As cybersecurity teams deal with an increasing number of systems, networks, and threats, they naturally find it more difficult to deal with these issues in the same amount of time as they once did. Security automation can help teams identify the most pressing issues, adequately prioritize responses and make it easy for new employees to get up to speed quickly. Visit - https://www.siemplify.co/
The Fundamentals and Significance of Security Orchestration Toolssecuraa
Did you know, security orchestration and analytics are essential parts of creating a cyber security program? Security orchestration tools allow companies to protect their data and information from cyber threats.
It’s a hostile cyber world out there, and it’s easy for organizations and enterprises to get overwhelmed. What if there was a solution that could be deployed that could cut down on the tedium that SOC analysts deal with? The right security automation tool can reduce your cases by 80%.

Cybersecurity marketers have also gotten hold of machine learning and it has become the buzzword du jour in many respects. When you're able to cut through the clutter, you will find that machine learning is more than just a buzzword and we should work to fully understand its benefits without overly relying on it as a silver bullet.

A presentation given at Arrow ECS Inspiration Day 7th of March 2014, Tallinn. The deck elaborates on why it is important to have information security built into your systems rather than tacked on later and offers some approaches to actually doing it.
Automation of Information (Cyber) Security by Joe HessmillerJoe Hessmiller
The focus is on physical and logical security vulnerabilities. Yes, locks and malware sandboxes are important. BUT, the biggest potential risk comes from inside. From the people who can - intentionally or unintentionally - expose the organization to the greatest risks. This presentation is about automating the process to control those risks.
A Trusted Integrity verification Architecture for Commodity ComputersEditor IJCATR
Trust is an indispensable part of the computing environment, the validity of any transaction or information depends heavily
on the authenticity of the information source. In this context, many mechanisms for ensuring the authenticity of the information source
were developed, including password verification and biometrics. But as the attacks are directed towards the computing platform and
the applications running on the computer, all these initial security mechanisms are not sufficient. It is essential to ensure before making
a secure transaction that the system is in a good state (or say some authorized state) and maintains its integrity throughout the
execution time. The emergence of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) has added to the security feature of a computer. Mechanisms
are in place which guarantee system integrity but very little is known about the state of the applications running on them. We propose
a system which notifies the user if the integrity of an application is violated and stops it. Our system also compares the current system
state with a known good value to ensure platform integrity.

Once we get beyond the immediate patchwork of solutions and accept that these attacks will continue, we need to think about how to best bolster response. Security orchestration allows for automation and improved capabilities to navigate the full scope of security operations and incident response activities from the initial alert through to remediation. Simply put, context, automation and analyst enablement ensure that the disease is cured, not just the symptoms.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

2. Introduction
In football, planning every move down to the smallest details is everything.
Any coach worth his or her salt has a playbook of strategies and every move, as
impulsive as it may seem, has been carefully calculated with perfect “If this,
then that” precision, before it ever took place. Yet, although every play has
been pre-charted, effective execution relies on the adaptability of players in the
moment and a keen understanding of the adjustments
3. When it comes to the security of corporate data, it’s not all that different from
football. In order to be ready for anything that comes your way, all aspects
need to be planned and mapped out beforehand, automated with a
predetermined course of action – in the vernacular, “IFTTT”. This security
playbook is called security automation and it’s an imperative part of keeping
all parts of a security operation workflow moving together in precise and
accurate motion.
Security Playbook
4. In the complex corporate security environment, automation is increasingly the
“go-to” answer for organizations lost in a sea of alerts, logs and data. But there
is a danger in putting too much faith into security automation and
orchestration alone. Organizations often turn to automation looking for a
technological cure-all for their security woes, but while they are very good at
what they do (at least theoretically), many security professionals are wary of
handing off their most critical processes to a black box that cannot make up
for the human intellect element.
Automation
5. Machines are not people and as such, do not waiver from their predetermined
playbooks, sometimes to the detriment of the goal at hand – that of keeping
corporate data secure. As Gartner security analyst Anton Chuvakin points
out. “There is – at this stage of security technology development, at least –
GOOD AUTOMATION and EVIL AUTOMATION. Longer term, we will
certainly see more automation and more domains of information security
(cybersecurity, if you have to) covered by automation, BUT I’d be willing to
bet anything that the profession of a security analyst will never be full
automated.”1
Technology Development
6. In Forbes, Courtney Nash writes:
“From a security standpoint, automation provides infrastructure security, and
makes it auditable. But it doesn’t really increase data/information security (e.g.
this file can/cannot live on that server)–those too are human tasks requiring
human judgement.”
Often, just like football’s receiver has to make a moment’s call and adjust
strategies, relying on automation and orchestration alone is too rigid. To be
truly useful, orchestration must become far more flexible and include people
in those processes.
What To Learn From Football
7. Semi-automation, in which team’s impact processes, creates the opportunity
to define and refine the playbook’s rules. Teams know their own organization
better than any template ever could, so orchestration needs to be a dynamic,
malleable entity to be effective, with people influencing and overseeing the
process. Chuvakin also states that: “To mitigate its “evil effects” while
preserving the benefits, look at “semi-automated” or assisted mode with
human influence in the loop where the automation gathers all the information
and then a human makes one simple call with all available data.”
Flexibility in Automation
8. When incorporating flexibility into the automation process, a typical scenario could go something like this:
Within Automation
9. The automated process and human intellect work together to create a
dynamic, adaptable security infrastructure. Properly implemented the right
balance of man/machine mix help validate the relevancy of alerts – allowing
analysts to close/eliminate cases more quickly and make sure analysts only
look at cases that actually matter while getting rid of the “noise”.
Because maintaining varying degrees of flexibility is in part dependent on the
ability to navigate effectively across the security infrastructure, teams need
tight integration with other security tools – the tighter the integration of all
tools from end to end, the greater the ability to traverse between automation
and human investigation.
The Automated Process
10. Finding the perfect balance between human intellect and predetermined
moves is a bit of an art form, just like in football. Flexibility within
automation, with the input of those people who know their processes best, is
the key to complete security.
