FortiSOAR's C2 Malware Traffic Response Solution Pack v1.0.1

[Anonymous]

The C2 Malware Traffic Response Solution Pack offers a suite of playbooks tailored for investigating and countering C2 (Command and Control) attacks. During these attacks, a system compromised by malware establishes a connection with the attacker's server, known as the C2 server, to facilitate ongoing communication. The primary objectives of such attacks include gaining control over the infected system, exfiltrating data, or deploying additional malicious software.
C2 Malware Traffic Response Solution Pack v1.0.1 release brings a range of enhancements and new features designed to bolster your defenses against Command and Control (C2) attacks.

FortiSOAR’s automated response to C2 malware traffic looks impressive, especially with its playbook-driven mitigation approach. Integrating dynamic threat intelligence feeds directly into the workflow reduces response time significantly. I’d be curious how well it scales in hybrid environments where network telemetry comes from both FortiGate and third-party sensors. The orchestration potential seems strong for SOC automation.
