Cortex XSOAR Marketplace a new way to SOAR

In these challenging times, when most of the workforce is remote and there’s no end to the influx of security alerts, security teams within a SOC are looking for new and innovative ways to automate their mundane tasks. Many of our customers have asked us about what other XSOAR customers are doing or using to solve a particular use case. What playbooks are they using or building that we can take advantage of and are different from what’s available out of the box?

These are all valid and important questions. Every SOC is different and requires a different approach. One thing is for sure; they all need security automation. Innovation is at the heart of automation. No matter how many built-in integrations a vendor provides, it cannot compare to what an open community can produce. They can build playbooks that no one has ever thought of before. The possibilities are endless!

Cortex XSOAR marketplace is the only security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) exchange that makes it easier for security teams to find and share security orchestration innovations built by the world's largest SOAR ecosystem. Built on an extensible SOAR platform, now you can accelerate automation usage within your SOC.
