Security Operations Tools FAQ
Common questions about Security Operations tools, selection guides, pricing, and comparisons.
SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) collects, correlates, and analyzes security logs from across your environment to detect threats. SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation and Response) automates incident response workflows and playbooks. XDR (Extended Detection and Response) integrates detection across endpoints, network, cloud, and email in a unified platform. Many organizations use SIEM for compliance and broad visibility, XDR for detection, and SOAR for response automation.
It depends on your requirements. XDR provides superior detection by correlating telemetry across multiple security layers. However, SIEM is still needed if you have compliance requirements for long-term log retention, need to ingest logs from non-security sources (applications, databases), or want custom correlation rules. Many organizations are consolidating from SIEM to XDR for detection while keeping SIEM for compliance and log management.
MDR (Managed Detection and Response) provides 24/7 threat monitoring, detection, and response delivered as a managed service. Choose MDR if: your team is too small to staff a 24/7 SOC (typically requires 8-12 analysts), you lack threat hunting expertise, or you need rapid security operations maturity. Build in-house when you need full control over detection logic, have unique threat models, or have the budget for a dedicated security operations team.
DFIR (Digital Forensics and Incident Response) tools help investigate security incidents by collecting and analyzing evidence: disk images, memory dumps, network captures, and log artifacts. You need DFIR capabilities when responding to confirmed breaches, conducting malware analysis, supporting legal proceedings, or performing proactive threat hunting. Many organizations outsource DFIR to specialized incident response firms.
