Streamlining Threat Response with Security Automation

With Security Automation, Todyl partners can streamline security incident response processes and create repeatable playbooks for dealing with potential threats and protecting their organization.

Why Security Automation

In today’s cybersecurity landscape, you need to be faster than attackers to keep your environment secure. Security Automation streamlines your security operations, using pre-built playbooks for more rapid remediation of potential malware, business email compromise (BEC), and other threats.

If Todyl detects an unusual sign-in on a Microsoft 365 account, Security Automation revokes access and alerts administrators. Playbooks can also escalate the response, disabling or deleting the account if signs of takeover continue.

The same approach applies to malware threats. The product stops malicious processes without disrupting normal work and isolates infected hosts to block lateral movement. This allows you to respond quickly to major threats with minimal human intervention and focus on broader business priorities.

How Security Automation works

Security Automation builds off Todyl’s existing Case Management functionality to reduce friction when responding to security incidents. This frees you up to tackle other business goals while keeping security top of mind.

The product module comes with multiple pre-built playbooks. These use one or more Todyl Automated Response Actions (TARA) to instantly address Microsoft 365 and endpoint threats. You can use TARA to create your own playbooks to automate other tasks as well.

Use Simulation Mode within Security Automation to test your automations over a 7, 14, or 30-day period. You can test playbooks indefinitely as necessary. Simulation Mode allows you to ensure playbooks are working according to your needs.

You can also create Exclusion Lists within your playbooks. These ensure uptime-dependent systems/users (i.e. a domain controller or M365 admin) won’t be hindered by an automated response.

Why Todyl’s Security Automation is a Great SOAR Alternative

Enterprise SOAR platforms cater to massive security teams with complex integrations, steep learning curves, and high price tags. That doesn’t align with how MSPs operate. Todyl takes a different approach.

  • Lean and Integrated: Security Automation integrates directly into the Todyl platform, using its detection and response capabilities to drive playbooks. With no standalone deployment, you get automated responses through the same platform as the rest of your security program.
  • Cost-Effective: Unlike enterprise SOAR tools that require dedicated resources, Todyl makes automation accessible to every MSP without bloated overhead.
  • Purpose-Built for MSPs: Playbooks and automations are designed to tackle the real-world threats MSPs and their clients face.
  • Faster Time to Value: Pre-built, tested workflows mean you get results immediately instead of months of integration work.
  • Scalable Simplicity: Whether for one tenant or dozens, Security Automation scales with you, without complicating your security processes.

With Todyl Security Automation, achieve enterprise SOAR outcomes—consistent, faster responses and reduced workload—without the cost or complexity.
