Explanation

SOAR stands for Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response. SOAR platforms integrate with existing security tools and data sources, then execute automated playbooks (predefined response workflows) to handle incidents faster and at scale - reducing the need for manual analyst intervention. XDR (Extended Detection and Response) focuses on unified threat detection across endpoints, networks, and cloud. SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) aggregates and correlates log data but does not natively automate responses. STEP is not a standard security platform acronym in this context.
