By\u00a0Jon Oltsik<\/a><\/strong> – According to\u00a0ESG research<\/a>, 52% of organizations believe that security <\/strong>operations are more difficult today than they were two years ago, due to factors such as the dangerous threat landscape, growing attack surface, and the volume\/complexity of security <\/strong>alerts. In analyzing this data, I see a common theme: scale. Security<\/strong> teams must be able to scale operations to deal with the increasing volume of everything coming at them. Faced with a global cybersecurity skills shortage, CISOs need alternatives to hiring their way out of this quagmire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can organizations proceed? By automating securit<\/strong>y operations processes. ESG research reveals that nearly half (46%) of security operations center (SOC) teams are automating security <\/strong>operations processes \u201cextensively,\u201d while another 44% are automating security operations processes \u201csomewhat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to security<\/strong> operations process automation, one might equate this activity with security<\/strong> orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) technology. In some cases, this is a correct assumption, as 37% of organizations use some type of commercial\u00a0SOAR<\/a>\u00a0tools. Interestingly, more than half (53%) of organizations eschew SOAR, using security<\/strong> operations process automation functionality within other security<\/strong> technologies instead \u2013\u00a0security<\/strong> information and event management (SIEM)<\/a>, threat intelligence platforms (TIPs), IT operations tools, or\u00a0extended detection and response (XDR)<\/a>, for example. Those organizations using SOAR admit that it is no day at the beach \u2013 80% agree that using SOAR was more complex and time consuming than they anticipated.
