In today’s cyber world, threats are more sophisticated and change quickly. Security Operations Centers (SOCs) face big challenges in detecting and responding to security incidents in a timely way. Traditional SOC operations often depend on manual processes. This can cause delays in identifying threats, raise operational costs, and increase the workload for analysts. To tackle these issues, this project introduces a practical SOC automation framework that uses open-source tools like Wazuh and TheHive. The system allows for automated alert detection, enhances indicators of compromise (IOCs) with information from external sources, streamlines case management, and sends timely notifications to SOC analysts via email. Predefined policies guide automated responses, helping the SOC handle alerts efficiently and reducing the need for constant human involvement. By simplifying complex tasks and enabling policy-driven automation, the framework improves the speed, accuracy, and consistency of incident response activities. Testing shows that this approach improves alert triage, cuts down on manual work, speeds up remediation, and strengthens the overall cybersecurity posture of an organization. The system offers a scalable, cost-effective, and practical solution for organizations that want to implement full-cycle SOC automation while keeping control and oversight over critical security operations.
