Automatic operation Such as threat response and mitigation measures, production of reversal scripts, and other possible activities. Ideally, automation should achieve a fast-acting workflow with minimal manual intervention. The goal is to achieve the fastest response to reduce malware dwell time and minimize potential damage to the computing system. To automate and curate these tasks, it means using various standards, such as the automatic exchange of metric information (Taxii) and structural threat information expression (Stix) throughout the threat management toolchain, so that different products can communicate with each other efficiently. These tasks involve less manual effort (for example, updating a custom spreadsheet) the better. Examples include things like enrichment alerts, real-time sharing of metrics, or generation of on-demand reports.

Create a core location for all threat management taskscovering the entire life cycle from discovery to mitigation measures and further hardened to prevent subsequent attacks. This means being able to integrate with existing security toolsets such as Soars, Siems, and CNapps and avoiding duplication of their efforts. “Modern techniques enable multi-source ingestion, smart priorities, automated workflows, and seamless integration with existing security tools,” Cyware said.
