Hands-on with SOAR
Learn how SOAR platforms automate SOC operations by orchestrating tools, enriching alerts, and executing response actions—through hands-on walkthroughs of n8n, Shuffle, and Tines.
Overview
Modern SOCs cannot scale with manual work alone. SOAR platforms help security teams automate repetitive tasks, orchestrate multiple tools, and respond faster to incidents.
In this project, you will:
- Understand what SOAR is and why SOCs depend on it
- Learn how automation fits into SOC workflows
- Explore real-world SOAR use cases
- Walk through open-source and low-code SOAR tools:
- n8n
- Shuffle
- Tines
- Understand how SOAR integrates with SIEM, EDR, and Threat Intelligence
This project focuses on analyst thinking and automation design, not just clicking buttons.
