🛡️ Free practice test question from: EDR (Security+)

SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) platforms are designed to integrate various security tools and automate the workflows associated with incident response. By doing so, SOAR can significantly reduce the number of manual tasks security teams need to perform, thereby decreasing alert fatigue. Additionally, automation allows for faster and more consistent responses to threats across multiple systems, enhancing the overall security posture of the organization.

EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) focuses on monitoring and responding to threats at the endpoint level. While EDR is effective for endpoint security, it doesn't inherently address alert fatigue or integrate multiple systems.

SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) collects and correlates log data from various sources, which is valuable for threat detection and compliance. However, SIEM systems can generate a large number of alerts, potentially contributing to alert fatigue if not paired with automation or orchestration capabilities.

Traditional antivirus software provides basic protection against known threats but lacks the advanced capabilities needed to manage and reduce alert fatigue or to orchestrate responses across multiple systems.
