Meet Swimlane Turbine, The Future of Security Automation – Security Boulevard

The future is not a place were going, but one were creating. Swimlane Turbine is a security automation platform that leverages low-code to make it both approachable and scalable, while also securely integrating data from any source. Ingest data from hard-to-reach sources easily integrate anything, and turn anyone on your team into automators.

Before we talk about how Turbine is different from other security automation solutions, its important to first identify the pain points todays security professionals face:

To solve these top problems, security companies have created a range of software with countless different acronyms in an effort to make security easier SIEM, SOAR, EDR, and XDR to name a few. The problem is that there isnt a one-size-fits-all security solution. Some tools focus on expanding threat detection, some on collecting data, and others on identifying high-fidelity alerts.

Whats actually missing is a tool that helps security leaders respond to threats the instant they occur not after detection, data aggregation, and manual response. Thats where low-code security automation comes in.

Here are four ways Turbine is advancing security automation.

Security leaders need a solution that can ingest much larger and more diverse data sets to stay ahead of complex security environments. Why? Modern infrastructure has a variety of data streams to account for: webhooks, poll requests, pub/sub, file creation, SMS messages, email messages, and IoT. Its nearly impossible to manually filter data fast enough to respond to alerts fast enough. Thats why Turbines Active Sensing Fabric listens across the security ecosystem, taking immediate action directly at the source.

Turbines Active Sensing Fabric expands upon legacy SOAR platforms to speed up detection by analyzing big data from your broader enterprise environment, not just SIEM. This approach helps your team respond to alerts faster so you can prevent breaches, improve MTTR, and reduce dwell time on threats.

Turbine executes on thousands of concurrent data-driven automations while leveraging your organizations unique business logic and processes. Reduce data overload with custom data filtering, pre-processing, and deduplication.

Turbines remote agents are dynamic sensors that allow the intelligent collection of hard-to-reach telemetry sources. The secure architecture makes it easy to connect Turbine to internal applications and systems without spending time configuring complicated networks or multiple VPNs.

Webhooks enable real-time communication between products, vendors, and services, and can be plugged directly into the playbook building experience within seconds. There are flexible authentication options to accommodate a variety of capabilities found in third-party applications.

Organizations of all industries and sizes increasingly need to unify complex environments by connecting with tools that are typically siloed from a security perspective, like cloud, internet of things (IoT), and edge computing. Some automation platforms have limited integrations, making cross-communication a nightmare to enable and maintain. With Turbine, integrations are so simple that anyone can become an automator.

Unlike XDR closed ecosystems, Turbines Autonomous Integrations connect to any API, so telemetry sources arent limited.

Turbine connectors make it easy for security teams to reliably connect to any API in their application environment and apply business logic to playbook execution. Even better, connectors are hosted in a new marketplace that is accessible to all Swimlane customers.

Legacy security orchestration automation and response (SOAR) products have earned a reputation of being rigid and unapproachable for the average security professional. Swimlane Turbine builds upon the power of traditional SOAR by adding flexible, scalable low-code automation.

Swimlane Turbines Adaptable Playbooks enable anyone in the security organization, even those without coding knowledge, to build effective automations that improve the ROI of their security programs. Empower domain experts to be citizen automators.

Turbine offers a user experience that is easy to adapt and maintain. It codifies business logic and best practices on the backend so that customers can build playbooks by simple drag-and-drop actions.

Turbines intelligent playbooks editor allows customers to easily create effective playbooks without having to first learn all of their architecture intricacies or struggle with ordering data. It simplifies the experience by using assets as predefined configurations to standardize and accelerate how they authenticate or send data to other systems.

Swimlane Turbine brings together machine and human data from Active Sensing Fabric, Autonomous Integrations, and Adaptable Playbooks to serve as the system of record for security.

Security is one of the business functions that lacks a centralized management hub. SIEM may offer a solution for big data analytics, compliance, and audit purposes, but it is not sufficient for actionable intelligence. Turbine provides such insights, along with KPI metrics like mean time to detect (MTTD), mean time to respond (MTTR), and MITRE ATTACK framework benchmarks through case management, dashboard, and reporting features.

Turbine is a case management platform that enriches incident data in real-time so that analysts can spend time making decisions instead of gathering manual information. This helps to enforce security standards and compliance, all with a single click.

Turbines dashboards leverage self-documenting playbooks to make it easy for security professionals of all levels to understand the effectiveness of their security operations. These come out-of-the-box with built-in SOC dashboards so leaders can easily identify and fix their most pressing issues.

Turbines low-code visualization studio lets you build custom, scheduled reports that inform the CISO or other stakeholders about security operations. When critical situations occur, Turbine can create real-time reports with detailed insights pinpointing problematic areas so that you can develop a counter-strategy.

Low-code security automation is a vital tool to add to your organizations infrastructure. Security teams of all sizes will benefit from scalable, adaptable automation that secures and manages their SOC environment. Turbine helps organizations quickly automate repetitive, mundane tasks, stop threats faster, and reduce security risk.

The future of security automation has arrived.
