Myrsini's team recently implemented a new system that gathers information from a variety of different log sources, analyzes that information, and then triggers automated playbooks in response to security events. What term best describes this technology?

Answer Options

A

SIEM

B

Log repositories

C

IPS

D

SOAR

Correct Answer: D

Explanation

Security information and event management (SIEM) systems do correlate information from multiple sources and perform analysis, but they stop short of providing automated playbook responses. That is the realm of security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) platforms. Intrusion prevention platforms have a more limited scope, allowing the blocking of traffic based upon analysis performed by the IPS itself. Log repositories simply collect log information and do not perform analysis.
