Close detection gaps in your Security Operations Center (SOC) and boost efficiency with a unified workflow approach. Learn how ANYRUN's 3-step process can help you streamline triage, strengthen proactive defense, and gain clearer visibility into complex attacks.
ANYRUN released a study on closing detection gaps in Security Operations Centers (SOCs), highlighting the importance of building a unified workflow. SOCs struggle with alert overload, leading to breakdowns in investigations and wasted resources. A unified workflow approach can improve SOC performance, accelerating investigations by 95% and reducing MTTR by 21 minutes. Expanding threat coverage early through Threat Intelligence Feeds is crucial for catching incidents sooner. Implementing a three-step approach: Expand threat coverage, streamline triage & response, and strengthen proactive defense can help close detection gaps.
ANYRUN, a leading provider of security automation solutions, has recently released a comprehensive study on closing detection gaps in Security Operations Centers (SOCs). The study highlights the importance of building a unified workflow that integrates multiple stages of threat detection, from filtering alerts to detonating suspicious files and validating indicators.
According to the study, SOCs often struggle with the sheer volume of alerts generated by various security tools. This leads to a breakdown in investigations, unnecessary escalations, and wasted resources. The study reveals that traditional workflows involving disconnected tools can waste up to 21 minutes per investigation, resulting in stalled cases and decreased SOC efficiency.
However, ANYRUN's survey shows that adopting a unified workflow approach can significantly improve SOC performance. By streamlining the triage process with an interactive sandbox, SOCs can accelerate investigations by 95%, reduce MTTR (Mean Time To Recover) by 21 minutes, and identify up to 58% more threats overall.
The study emphasizes the importance of expanding threat coverage early, utilizing Threat Intelligence Feeds to provide fresh, actionable IOCs drawn from the latest malware campaigns. This enables SOCs to catch incidents sooner, stay aligned with current threats, and reduce noise in Tier 1.
To achieve this unified workflow, ANYRUN recommends a three-step approach:
Step 1: Expand threat coverage early by utilizing Threat Intelligence Feeds.
Step 2: Streamline triage & response with an interactive sandbox, enabling analysts to detonate suspicious files and URLs in real-time.
Step 3: Strengthen proactive defense with Threat Intelligence Lookup, providing real-time visibility into evolving campaigns.
By implementing this unified workflow approach, SOCs can close detection gaps, reduce alert overload, and gain clearer visibility into complex attacks. According to ANYRUN's survey, SOC teams that adopted this approach reported significant improvements in:
* Faster investigations (95% of respondents)
* Quicker and clearer triage (94% of respondents)
* Reduced MTTR (21 minutes saved per case)
* Increased threat identification (up to 58% more threats)
The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of adopting a unified workflow approach to enhance SOC efficiency. By integrating multiple stages of threat detection, SOCs can accelerate investigations, reduce noise, and improve overall security posture.
