What differentiates SOAR from SIEM?

  1. SOAR platforms focus on analyzing network traffic.
  2. SOAR platforms integrate automated response into the investigation process.
  3. SOAR platforms collect data and send alerts.
  4. SOAR platforms filter alerts with their broader coverage of security incidents.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) differs from SIEM by adding automated incident response and workflow orchestration to the detection and alerting capabilities found in SIEM. This enables faster and more efficient handling of security incidents.
