Cybersecurity Automation: Streamlining Incident Response

EasyChair Preprint 14368

Abstract

In the evolving landscape of cybersecurity, automation has emerged as a pivotal strategy for enhancing incident response efficiency and effectiveness. "Cybersecurity Automation: Streamlining Incident Response" explores how automated systems can transform the way organizations detect, analyze, and respond to security incidents. This paper delves into the integration of automated tools and technologies, such as Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems, Security Orchestration Automation and Response (SOAR) platforms, and machine learning algorithms, into incident response workflows. By examining case studies and current best practices, the study highlights the benefits of automation in reducing response times, minimizing human error, and improving overall threat management. Additionally, it addresses the challenges and considerations of implementing automation, including potential risks, the need for ongoing oversight, and the balance between automated and human intervention. Ultimately, this paper provides insights into how automation can streamline incident response processes, enabling organizations to better safeguard their digital environments against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
