CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-003) — Question 457

A SOC manager is looking for a solution that can improve the response time and execute predetermined instructions. Which of the following is the best solution based on these requirements?

Answer options

• A. XDR
• B. SIEM
• C. CASB
• D. SOAR

Correct answer: D

Explanation

SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) is designed specifically to automate responses and execute predefined actions quickly, making it the best choice for the SOC manager's requirements. XDR, SIEM, and CASB, while useful in their own right, do not focus primarily on improving response times through automation.
