SOAR is dead. At first glance, that might be a bold statement, but the writing’s on the wall. While SOAR may have been a thing in the past, it’s not built for hybrid cloud adoption at enterprise scale. Cue, Torq Hyperautomation. Here are 5 reasons why SOAR is dead.

As SOCs continue to grow and mature, it's vital that they establish effective and repeatable programs in proactive defense. This also means that threat hunting needs to become a critical function. Numerous advanced and sophisticated threats are able to get past more traditional cybersecurity defenses and SOCs need skilled Threat Hunters who are able to search, log, monitor, and remediate threats before they create a serious problem.

Managed service providers (MSPs) must be prepared to defend their customers against advanced threats and, to do so, they need to keep track of different data sources by deploying solutions that are designed to improve their customers’ security posture through effective detection and proactive responses to potential incidents.

Many, if not all, SOAR solutions in the market tout case management within their offerings. It’s a hard requirement for most analysts because it’s essential for their job. But those same analysts are burnt out and overwhelmed by high volumes of alerts, and they struggle to work through the near- endless backlog of tickets. When they look for alternatives, security teams are stuck between choosing good automation or good case management.

When you say, “SOAR is Dead,” you’ll get some attention, and that’s exactly what happened at RSAC 2023. But it wasn’t just a statement that created the buzz.
