Too many alerts, not enough time to investigate them all, and staff on the verge of burnout? Today's security teams are finding security orchestration and automation (SOAR) helps improve their security posture and create efficiency—without sacrificing control of important security and IT processes.

But, before you look for a security orchestration and automation solution, a good place to start is defining the pain points your
organization needs to solve. Is your mean time to respond to a threat getting worse? Does your security team get too many alerts to handle effectively and in a timely fashion?

Knowing which use cases you can solve for with orchestration and automation—and then prioritizing those that can bring
immediate value—will help you narrow down to find the right solution for your fastest time to value. We've compiled the most common SOAR use cases, in addition to useful tips and example workflows to help you get started. Some of the workflows include: 

• Phishing investigations
• Provisioning and deprovisioning users
• Malware containment
• Patching and remediation
• And more!
