SOAR (security orchestration, automation, and response) and SIEM are complementary technologies that serve different purposes. SIEM focuses on log collection, event correlation, and real-time monitoring for threat detection and response. SOAR, on the other hand, automates and orchestrates security processes and workflows, enabling faster and more efficient incident response. While SIEM provides the foundation for threat detection, SOAR enhances the incident response capabilities by automating repetitive tasks, integrating with various security tools, and facilitating collaboration among security teams.
