Question 1

Why is relying only on firewalls, IDS, or antivirus becoming unreliable?

Accepted Answer

Modern adversaries use sophisticated techniques such as zero-day vulnerabilities, social engineering, and evasion strategies to bypass detection, making perimeter-only controls insufficient.

Question 2

How does SOAR complement SIEM in SOC operations?

Accepted Answer

SOAR reduces SOC alert volume by identifying duplicate cases and automates parts of the workflow using playbooks, helping analysts focus on meaningful incidents.

Question 3

What limitations of SIEM motivate the use of SOAR?

Accepted Answer

SIEM can generate high volumes of logs that are noisy and not directly actionable, and SIEM implementations often require significant financial investment for training or specialized analysis.
