Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR)

Optimization through automation

Maximizing security with SOAR

For optimum all-round protection, our Security Operations Center relies on a variety of security tools that are tailored to different needs and requirements. SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) is used to manage this multitude of tools efficiently and effectively. This term, coined by Gartner, describes an approach in which all security-relevant activities of different tools can be seamlessly coordinated through the automated processing of security rules in a central platform. This results in significantly faster response times, improved efficiency and even greater prevention of attacks over time, as new patterns are incorporated into rules.

Endpoint detection and response (EDR)
Advantages with SOAR

Increase in effectiveness

Increase in effectiveness

Repeatable and standardized processes can be automated, significantly improving the response time and quality to security incidents.

Faster response time

With SOAR, threats can be detected more precisely and false alarms reduced.

The central areas of SOAR

SO

Security orchestration

As already mentioned, our Security Operations Center (SOC) uses a wide range of security tools and technologies to detect and respond to threats. The deployment and overarching use of these tools involves a certain amount of time, as our SOC has to regularly switch between the various systems in order to identify correlations and perform detailed analyses. With the introduction of SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation and Response), these tools are integrated into a central platform, allowing activities to be coordinated more efficiently through playbooks.

A

Automation

Recurring processes and tasks can be time-consuming, but offer great potential for automation. This is where SOAR comes in by enabling the automation of such tasks and processes that occur in the various tools integrated into the platform. This reduces the manual workload and significantly shortens response times. In practice, you can imagine an automated process as something like this: The EDR tool sends an alert to the SOAR platform after detecting suspicious activity on a laptop. This then creates a ticket, supplements the warning with additional data from various threat sources and then carries out automated reactions – such as isolating the endpoint. The ticket is then forwarded to a security analyst, who reviews the incident and initiates further measures if necessary.

R

Response

The response function includes the reaction to security incidents through standardized workflows and playbooks. This leads to increased efficiency and effectiveness in dealing with security incidents. Standardized workflows ensure that incidents are handled quickly and consistently, improving the overall security posture.

A flexible partner for a complex project“The fact that working with such a professional and flexible partner has simplified many things has enabled us to save costs. With another provider, we would very likely have had to invest 30 percent more in our network over the past three years. The partnership with Riedel Networks, from account management to technical advice, has proved invaluable to Kyocera Document Solutions Europe time and time again.”

A privileged partnership“Thanks to Riedel Networks, Faller Packaging now has a modern, fully redundant, highly transparent and highly available SD-WAN network connecting our seven European branches and 1,300 employees. From the head office to the factory floor to the warehouse, our people are now equipped for dynamic production with quotas to be met at short notice, because they can rely on a stable infrastructure – and my IT team has found the ideal partner to guarantee a flawless network function.”

Innovative communication solutions with Riedel Networks“With the right partner in business – and in life – even the biggest obstacles can be overcome. Riedel has proven to be the right partner, not only for development, but also for all supporting processes. The peace of mind of having a reliable network and partner is priceless to me. I look forward to working with them on a radio solution for race cars in other competitive areas.”

Our SD-WAN works perfectly!

“Today’s #IT challenges no longer lie in maintaining infrastructure. #IT must add value by helping employers and customers stay ahead of the competition. Our SD-WAN works perfectly, and we haven’t experienced a single outage since we switched over (to RIEDEL) from MPLS. Riedel handles our network infrastructure and our connection to the internet, leaving us to focus on best serving our customers. They have negotiated new agreements with the relevant last-mile providers on our behalf. They have helped us eliminate unnecessary telecommunications expenses, and we have invested this money in managed services. With the same amount of money, we’re doing so much more..”

Linus Linder, Head of IT at Müller - Die lila Logistik AG

Riedel connects two worlds for us: Broadcast and IT. When it comes to broadcasting a first-class event like Formula 1, a strong and reliable partnership is an absolute must. We have been working with Riedels RiLink for many years. As soon as the fiber optic cable is connected to our production unit, all systems wake up, immediately connect to their hosts and start sending files or messages.
