How Do Playbooks Help CISOs Improve SecOps?
DARKReading, February 9th, 2023
Extended detection and response (XDR) solutions have evolved to offer automated tools, such as playbooks, that enhance context and response.
Question: How are playbooks useful in SecOps?
Aimei Wei, founder and CTO, Stellar Cyber: Every day brings a new solution for CISOs to consider. Unfortunately, blending the insights these tools offer and using them to answer tough questions from the board and analysts is challenging. CISOs need more encompassing SecOps solutions that are based on context and insights, not just another acronym that promises to solve every security threat. That's where automated techniques like playbooks come in.
Put simply, traditional SecOps techniques cannot combine all of the alerts and insights each tool gives into an easily understood report. For instance, an identity management tool is useful - it flags unauthorized access or expired access credentials.
