MSSP reduces the cost of each incident. However, SOAR offers customizable playbooks that automate various manual and mundane actions that result in mitigating the involvement of manpower. Since the cybersecurity skill gap is already widening, the role of automation or SOAR is commendable. Usually, MSSP eliminates manually maintaining and writing incident response procedures and customer playbooks. Whereas, SOAR creates a library of customizable, dedicated, and granular playbooks for every individual customer.
Typically, MSSP can provide a dedicated virtual SOC to its customers along with critical security requirements or data segregation. On the other hand, with SOAR, you can deploy a multi-tenant solution that allows granular role-based access. With this functionality, clients or enterprises can have their own dedicated virtual incident responders or Computer Security and Incident Response Team (CSIRT).
SOAR playbooks provide updates to the entire customer-base of MSSPs so that new threats can be addressed. SOAR playbooks automatically detect and respond to cybersecurity threats and attacks. The configuration manager centrally configures rule updates and playbook.
SOAR offers a global dashboard that enables MSSP analysts to have incidents’ visibility across multiple customers or clients. In fact, the dashboard offers a wide view of various activities and multiple integrated tools. At the same time, MSSP analysts can watch multiple incidents and they can work on the individual incident.
