Security orchestration, automation, and response
A class of security tools that facilitates incident response, threat hunting, and security configuration by orchestrating automated runbooks and delivering data enrichment.
The Explain card
- Plain English
- SOAR tools run automated runbooks across your security stack, enrich alerts with extra context and coordinate response steps, speeding up incident response, threat hunting and configuration changes.
- Example
- When the LLM gateway flags a user for repeated jailbreak attempts, the SOAR platform automatically pulls their recent logins, checks threat intelligence for the source IP, suspends the API key and opens a ticket for the analyst.
- Why it matters
- AI abuse generates alerts faster than humans can triage. SOAR turns playbooks into code so routine cases are handled in seconds and analysts keep the hard ones.
- Hook
- The autopilot for the SOC: humans set the route, the machine flies the checklist.

Phase 14: Incident Response, Evaluation, and Knowledge Bases
When detection fires, teams need structured response plans, scoring frameworks, and curated knowledge bases to triage, measure, and learn from AI security events.
