SOAR Playbook for Automatic Case Management

Shuvro

Reading Time: 5 minutesModern Security Operations Centers (SOCs) face an escalating challenge: an overwhelming volume of security alerts, coupled with persistent manual inefficiencies and a severe global talent shortage. This leads to alert fatigue, a reactive posture, and a heightened risk of missing critical incidents. The traditional manual approach to incident response is no longer sustainable against the speed and sophistication of contemporary cyber threats.

SOAR Playbook for Phishing Email Investigation

Shuvro

Reading Time: 4 minutesThe escalating threat of phishing demands a transformative approach to cybersecurity. This “SOAR Playbook for Phishing Email Investigation” leverages Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) to convert reactive security operations into a proactive, efficient, and scalable defense. By automating repetitive tasks and orchestrating complex workflows, SOAR drastically reduces Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) for phishing incidents, often to mere minutes.

OCTAVE Threat Modeling

Shuvro

Reading Time: 3 minutesn today’s complex digital landscape, securing your organization requires moving beyond simple checklists. You need a strategy that focuses on what truly matters: your most critical business assets. This is where the Operationally Critical Threat, Asset, and Vulnerability Evaluation (OCTAVE) framework comes in. Developed by Carnegie Mellon University’s Software Engineering Institute (SEI), OCTAVE provides a risk-based approach to threat modeling that aligns security efforts with business goals.

PASTA – Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis in the SOC

Shuvro

Reading Time: 4 minutesThis document outlines the PASTA-SOC framework, a structured methodology to evolve a Security Operations Center (SOC) from a reactive to a proactive, threat-informed defense model. It operationalizes the seven stages of the Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis (PASTA) by integrating its business-centric principles with the tactical capabilities of modern security technologies, primarily Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS), Threat Intelligence Platforms (TIPs), and Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR).
