AI4SOAR: A Security Intelligence Tool for Automated Incident Response

The cybersecurity landscape is fraught with challenges stemming from the increasing volume and complexity of security alerts. Traditional manual or semi-automated approaches to threat analysis and incident response often result in significant delays in identifying and mitigating security threats. In this paper, we address these challenges by proposing AI4SOAR, a security intelligence tool for automated incident response. AI4SOAR leverages similarity learning techniques and integrates seamlessly with the open-source SOAR platform Shuffle. We conduct a comprehensive survey of existing open-source SOAR platforms, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, we present a similarity-based learning approach to quickly identify suitable playbooks for incoming alerts. We implement AI4SOAR and demonstrate its application through a use case for automated incident response against SSH brute-force attacks.
