Detailed Review
Cynet states that its SOAR is built into the platform, so there is no third-party SOAR to license or maintain. Automated investigation starts when a detection fires and produces a graphical timeline of what happened and which automated actions were taken.
The website terms name Cynet Security Ltd. as the counterparty, governed by the laws of the State of Israel with the courts of Tel Aviv-Yaffo.
Playbooks and remediation
The SOAR page shows a phishing-response example in five steps: trigger, investigate, contain, notify and verify. Users can start from prebuilt playbooks or build their own in a drag-and-drop editor without scripting.
The page says playbooks reach beyond Cynet to switches, firewalls, directories and IT tools, though the list of supported products was not shown on the page we read.
Investigation
Automated investigation includes root cause analysis, cross-signal correlation across endpoints, users, network, email and cloud, alert consolidation and an audit trail. The headline speed figures on the page are vendor measurements that we could not check.
Fit
Because SOAR is part of the endpoint and XDR platform, it suits buyers who want to consolidate tools. Teams that need to orchestrate across many unrelated detection products will get more neutrality from Tines or Shuffle.
Limitations to Consider
The SOAR is not sold on its own, so you adopt Cynet's detection platform to use it. Pricing is not published, and no self-hosting or data-location statement was found. The speed and automation percentages are the vendor's own figures. Only the website terms were read, so the signing entity for customer contracts should be confirmed.
Who Should Use Cynet
Small and mid-sized security teams, and MSPs, that prefer one platform with automated response over assembling separate detection and SOAR tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
