In our first Summer Security Fundamentals panel discussion, we had the chance to chat with some folks who live and breathe cybersecurity. Not wanting to miss this golden opportunity, we cut right to the tough questions. The result? Almost an hour’s worth of insightful tips for making your life as a cybersecurity professional less difficult. The common theme? Taking every advantage security orchestration and automation (SOAR) has to offer.
When asked what their greatest security challenges were, our panelists quickly zeroed in on a select few. Chief among them were insufficient resources. This is unfortunately a common reality for cybersecurity teams—and isn’t likely to disappear in the near future. However, there is a clever way to combat its effect.
While the obvious answer would be to focus on ways to increase their available security resources, our panelists argued it’s actually the opposite. The focus should instead be on ways to decrease the amount of resources necessary.
When we talk about limited resources, we really mean a general lack of three things:
Time
Workload (FTEs)
Budget
All are somewhat dependent on each other and surprisingly scarce when you need them most. SOAR tools, like InsightConnect can be a great way to decrease your team’s need for all three of these bottlenecks.
When it comes to time, SOAR gives you automated ways to tackle trivial tasks—think less time jumping between tools and staring at dashboards. As you begin to offload repetitive tier 1 chores to a SOAR stack, you naturally have less need for FTE hours worked. Along the same lines, fewer ..
