SIEM vs SOAR
Overview
SIEM and SOAR represent contrasting approaches in cybersecurity. SIEM focuses on [core summary of lhs], while SOAR emphasizes [core summary of rhs]. Understanding their differences helps design robust security architectures.
Section 1 - Core Mechanisms
SIEM Mechanism:
// Example of SIEM core operation // Add detailed code or pseudo-code here
SOAR Mechanism:
// Example of SOAR core operation // Add detailed code or pseudo-code here
SIEM uses [detailed principle], whereas SOAR relies on [detailed principle].

- Technical patterns: [list]
SOAR in Practice:
- Use case 1: [describe]
- Use case 2: [describe]
- Technical patterns: [list]
Section 3 - Security Considerations
SIEM Threats & Mitigations:
- Threat 1: [detail] → Mitigation: [detail]
- Threat 2: [detail] → Mitigation: [detail]
SOAR Threats & Mitigations:
- Threat 1: [detail] → Mitigation: [detail]
- Threat 2: [detail] → Mitigation: [detail]
Combine both approaches with defense-in-depth for maximum resilience.
