What is the difference between SOC and SOAR?

A quick answer to a common question about security operations.

A security operations center (SOC) is the team and tooling that defends an organization. Security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) is one tool category a SOC may use to run response playbooks. Exaforce replaces SOAR playbooks with adaptive AI agents that reason through context instead of hardcoded scripts.
