Description The desire of organizations to better understand, automate, and streamline their core processes is undoubtedly not newfound, and it is far from exclusive to the cybersecurity domain. However, in recent years, the lack of skilled professionals and the ever-increasing number of attacks triggered a surge of vendors, products, and standardization efforts in the SOAR area. This work aims to show that while security orchestration is perfectly feasible via modern orchestration systems, it is the automation of the individual activities that conceals most of the complexity. To this effect, we will showcase an end-to-end execution of a custom playbook for network security posture assessment.
