Does Security Automation Need to SOAR, or Just Fly?

From writing a few scripts using APIs, to full-fledge SOAR solutions, automation is getting a serious look from those who are seeing little success from throwing bodies at security problems. But choosing the right automation approach is a tough decision that demands a solid understanding of each option, what it can deliver, and what it will cost in time and money.

Due to his extensive background in security ecosystems, and SOAR solutions in particular, ThreatTalk has invited Craig Sanderson, VP of Product Management for security solutions at Infoblox, to join us for this discussion. We look forward to hearing both his technical and philosophical perspectives on important issues around automation including’ “Just because you ‘can’ automate a thing, it doesn’t mean you ‘should’ automate it.”
