Help increase response capabilities as threats grow

You may not be able to respond to threats at scale using the older method of manual research, validation, and remediation. New cyber threats are developed and deployed daily, and existing threats we thought we’d handle are evolving to cause significant damage. Cyberthreat management can be challenging. You could invest an entire day in the manual response method, and you’d still be behind due to the sheer volume of potential threats in the queue needing to be investigated. Respond to threats at scale using SolarWinds® Security Event Manager (SEM) with Active Response.

Respond to threats as soon as alarms are triggered

Active Response provides preconfigured, customizable actions for incident response based on satisfied trigger conditions, enabling you to hunt and stop threats proactively. SEM incident response solutions are designed to ingest threat intelligence findings and act on unique user-defined actions. Kick-off an automated email to your team, actively block a threat detected at your firewall, deactivate an Active Directory account whose actions may place your enterprise at risk, and more.

Easily configure incident responses to complex threats

Manual response can require a certain level of technical breadth to understand the risks and consequences of the selected remediation path. When IT professionals thoroughly research a potential threat, it may have already escalated into something more serious. Remove the manual research involved in incident response and let the security incident management software in Security Event Manger with Active Response do the heavy lifting.

Use existing rules or define your own in incident response software

In SEM, you can either intuitively select from a set of predefined rules or create custom rules tailored to your organization’s specific needs. This flexibility allows you to enhance your incident response processes by adapting the software to match your unique security requirements. Predefined rules cover common scenarios and can be implemented quickly. In contrast, custom rules enable you to address threats and workflows specific to your environment, helping ensure comprehensive and effective incident management.
