14 Major Benefits of SOAR
Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) technology unlocks the full value of security operations by reducing the time, burden, and resources needed to execute swift, and effective action at every stage of the detection, analysis, and cyber threat response. By leveraging the best SOAR tool, security teams can orchestrate and automate a majority of repetitive and mundane tasks to streamline threat detection and response processes.
However, your security team doesn’t need a one-size-fits-all SOAR solution. Response strategies also differ due to the differences in security culture, technologies, and processes across organizations. Although these processes are built on similar foundations with the goal to streamline cybersecurity operations, enterprises lack the approach to connect them all and drive a common centralized and automated SecOps workflow. SOAR solves this challenge by connecting together tools, systems, people, and processes across environments. A modern-day SOAR platform must be vendor-agnostic and be able to support low code and no code security automation, and technologies for orchestrating workflows and automating incident response without requiring investment into advanced programming skills.
A vendor-agnostic SOAR platform offers enterprises the capability to seamlessly integrate different security tools and technologies available in the market, thereby enabling the SecOps team to gain a holistic view of the cybersecurity environment. With this approach, organizations can build automated workflows to spot cybersecurity risks and react to complex security incidents at machine speed. Nowadays, organizations have started adopting no code security automation and low code security automation platforms to automate security operations. While no code SOAR tools allow security teams to automate their workflows without writing a single line of code, low code SOAR tools allow custom coding to create or enhance software applications and build automated workflows while eliminating the need for advanced programming skills.
Top Benefits of SOAR
Regardless of the tools and technologies integrated, the ultimate goal of the SOAR platform is to enhance the productivity of SOC processes and improve threat detection and incident response. Some of the major benefits of SOAR include:
- Improved Efficiency of Security Operations:
- Improved Threat Detection:
- Accelerated Incident Response Process:

- Reduced Alert Fatigue:
- Better Security Decision-Making Ability:
- Reduced Vendor Fatigue:
- Lowered Operational Cost:
Cyware's Orchestrate: The Best SOAR Platform
Orchestrate is a vendor-agnostic orchestration platform that offers both no code and low code security automation capabilities to establish automated workflows across cloud, on-premise, and hybrid environments. Unlike legacy or vendor-specific SOAR, Orchestrate provides the flexibility to decouple any-to-any orchestration platform, whilst enabling SecOps teams to integrate and automate security workflows using 300+ apps. The uniqueness of this solution lies in the ability to build custom apps through these 300+ apps to provide more specialized features. It also includes a whole set of ready-made playbooks for common use cases and features a Playbook Canvas for easy drag-and-drop custom playbook creation. These benefits are augmented through Cyber Fusion Center which combines all security functions under one roof and provides a single pane of glass to analysts for advanced threat investigation, automated playbook triggering, better collaboration, and faster threat response.
