Gurucul Risk-Driven SOAR

Gurucul Risk-Driven SOAR is a security automation and orchestration platform designed to streamline incident response processes based on risk prioritization. According to the vendor, this software solution caters to small, medium, and large enterprises and is utilized by security analysts, network analysts, IT operations teams, security operations centers (SOCs), and the financial services industry.

Key Features

Automate and Orchestrate Responses Based on Risk: Gurucul Risk-Driven SOAR automates and orchestrates response actions based on risk prioritization. The platform utilizes Gurucul's enterprise-risk engine to generate risk scores for individual response actions and playbooks, as stated by the vendor.

Customize Incident Response Playbooks: Gurucul SOAR includes dynamic playbooks that adapt to the customer's environment. Playbooks are generated based on analytics, machine learning (ML), and the risk engine. Customers have the flexibility to customize existing playbooks or create their own using Gurucul Studio, according to the vendor.

Deploy Configurable Workflows: Responses and remediation actions can be automated through the organization's IT/security stack. Integration with ticketing systems, authentication systems, network, system, and endpoint defenses allows tailored automated reactions. Workflows can range from ticket submission to isolating and quarantining risky entities based on their risk level, as mentioned by the vendor.

Automate Even Faster with Included Case Management: Gurucul SOAR includes comprehensive case management capabilities. Automated incident timelines create smart links of the entire attack lifecycle for pre- and post-incident analysis. Cases can be reassigned, closed as risk accepted, or sent for model review feedback, facilitating collaboration among cross-functional teams, according to the vendor.

Leverage 3rd Party Integrations: Gurucul seamlessly integrates with hundreds of downstream cyber security solutions. SOAR can trigger risk remediation actions using existing cyber security solutions. Integration with a wide range of third-party tools facilitates end-to-end incident management, as claimed by the vendor.

Increase efficiency and significantly reduce incident response times for the Security Operations Team: Gurucul Risk-Driven SOAR helps prioritize response actions tailored to the specific environment or through customizable playbooks. High-fidelity targeted responses minimize disruption to IT operations. The platform automates the gathering of relevant context and analysis for validation. Included contextual case management or seamless integration with existing case management enhances collaboration and remediation efforts, according to the vendor.

No other vendor offers a risk-driven approach to SOAR: Gurucul's risk-driven approach leverages its enterprise risk scoring engine to codify and rank threats. Unified risk scores are generated for every user and entity triggering anomalies. Risk scores, along with anomaly metadata, are used to trigger appropriate remediation actions per the response playbook. API-based integration with preventative security solutions allows blocking, disabling, or isolating risky users and entities, as claimed by the vendor.

Contextual Threat Hunting: Gurucul automates the collection and correlation of analyzed events to gather contextual information. Contextual information is matched against indicators of compromise (IoCs) to formulate an active response. Risk scores are applied to help prioritize the results of threat hunting activities, as stated by the vendor.

Containment of Malware Infections: Gurucul's included threat content and analytics detect threats, including malware infections, in real-time. The platform provides insights into how malware infections attempt to spread across endpoints, applications, and network devices. Autogenerated playbooks can automatically quarantine users, endpoints, and network segments to prevent further infection and allow security teams time to remediate the attack, according to the vendor.

Vulnerability Patching: Gurucul identifies risks through its enterprise risk engine and integrates vulnerability and threat intelligence data. Patching and remediation efforts can be aligned with active threats. Prioritized actions, such as patching critical or high-risk systems first, can be included in playbooks to mitigate the risk of ongoing attacks, as claimed by the vendor.
