ServiceNow SecOps

ServiceNow Security Operations is a (SOAR) security orchestration, automation, and response engine built on the ServiceNow Platform. It is intended to enable security and IT teams to respond to security threats more quickly and efficiently. Using ServiceNow's intelligent workflows and automation features, you can significantly improve your security response time and efficiency. ServiceNow SecOps offers full-stack Security Operations to assist companies in better managing their security responsibilities.

ServiceNow SecOps offers Security incident response, vulnerability response, and threat intelligence modules that assist you in dynamically recognizing and organizing events so that you can react quickly and avoid service outages or possible failures.

Security Incident Response

The inability to assess the severity of a threat may worsen the security issue. When all threats are treated similarly, it becomes challenging for security teams to focus on high-priority attacks, that can have serious consequences for the business. The ServiceNow SecOps engine's security incident response tools are almost entirely automated. ServiceNow SecOps analyses suspicious behaviors discovered by your security tools, automatically creates security incidents for all of them, and assigns them to a security team member. This shortens the time it takes to resolve the problem. ServiceNow SecOps, as a scoped application framework, restricts secure access to only particular information.

Vulnerability Management

Vulnerability Response enables businesses to respond to vulnerabilities quicker and more effectively, connect security and IT teams, and provide real-time understanding. ServiceNow SecOps analyses the results of vulnerability checks for the company's operations and IT teams. 

ServiceNow SecOps allows IT teams to set up workflows in which vulnerability scan data is imported into the vulnerability response application via APIs, and the vulnerability management dashboard provides organizations with a comprehensive overview of all vulnerabilities discovered for a specific digital asset or business service. Additionally, you can automate a lot of your vulnerability response with ServiceNow to increase your efficiency in considering the increasing usage of AI and ML.

Threat Intelligence

Threat Intelligence is a component of ServiceNow Security Operations, and it assists response teams in tracking down weak-hanging attacks and threats as well as identifying indicators of infection. Businesses find it simpler to keep up with rapidly changing threats with the help of ServiceNow SecOps. The threat intelligence component of ServiceNow detects indicators of compromise (IoC) and identifies hidden dangers, software faults, malfunctioning, etc. by integrating security monitoring tools and a specialized threat data website. Customers can also add their own unique feeds to Threat Intelligence to improve the accuracy of spotting issues.

Performance Analytics for SecOps

This ServiceNow SecOps engine's performance analytics features provide businesses with insight into the effectiveness of their security operations. It also enables security teams to identify automation opportunities. It also aids in resource allocation, promoting automation and self-service, and boosting continuous service through the use of an analytics hub, time charts, forecasts, and dashboards.
