Technical Reviewer (Disclaimer)A guide not tool agnostic but security oriented to multiple platforms with hands on examples and use of third party apis to include in your workflow for orchestration. Definitely a tool to keep in your arsenal of SOAR operations. If you are starting your journey in Splunk, or Sentinel this is a must use in guiding decision points and operations.

Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response for Security Analysts is a well written introduction to the use of Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response tools (SOARs) to automate handling alerts generated by logs in SIEM tools generally used by Cybersecurity analysts to monitor network and computer activity for any signs of hacking. The book explains very well the current state of Cybersecurity and the role SOARs currently play, as well as a great argument for the need for automation to avoid burnout. It teaches the concepts of incident management and how to perform the investigation from following NIST and SANS frameworks. Most importantly it teaches how to implement a SOAR into Microsoft's Azure Sentinel SIEM tool, as well as tips and tricks to master Sentinel automation. The included directions are very detailed and easy to follow step-by-step. This book is a must have for seasoned analysts and those that are just trying to break into the Cybersecurity industry and looking for their first SOC job.

Having completed a Bachelors degree in cybersecurity, I was dismayed by very minimal coverage of SIEM and SOAR technology.I have had to go to online sources for training material and few textbooks had more than a few pages of information. Thus ,I was happy to receive a copy of this.The author gives a great overview and then goes deeper into use , management and automation with SOAR and its use in threat intelligence, incident response, and threat hunting with SOAR byof Microsoft ,Splunk ,Palo Alto & Google. A great addition to my infosec library on a topic difficult to find current material on.
