CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 470

A security manager wants to reduce the number of steps required to identify and contain basic threats. Which of the following will help achieve this goal?

Answer options

• A. SOAR
• B. SIEM
• C. DMARC
• D. NIDS

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is SOAR, which stands for Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response, allowing for streamlined processes in threat identification and response. While SIEM focuses on security information and event management, it does not automate the response. DMARC is used for email validation to protect against spoofing, and NIDS (Network Intrusion Detection Systems) detects intrusions but does not streamline the response process.
