Automated Incident Response: UDV SOAR 4.1 Brings New Capabilities to Cybersecurity Operations
Russian cybersecurity vendor UDV Group has released an updated version of its integrated security platform, UDV SOAR 4.1. The SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) solution is designed to automate incident response workflows by orchestrating security tools, streamlining processes, and reducing the amount of manual work required from security teams.
Boosting Operational Efficiency
Among the key enhancements in the new release is the ability to run scheduled tasks on selected agents, giving security teams greater flexibility in managing operations. The updated interface for playbooks and scripts now consolidates full documentation into a single screen, making day-to-day work easier for analysts. Bulk export and import of scripts and playbooks have also been introduced, significantly simplifying lifecycle management. In addition, the script generation model used by the built-in AI assistant has been improved, increasing the efficiency of automated actions.
These changes are particularly relevant against the backdrop of a growing number of cyberattacks and a persistent shortage of qualified information security professionals. UDV SOAR 4.1 helps reduce analyst workload, accelerates response times, and ultimately improves the overall resilience and security posture of enterprise infrastructure.
Competitiveness and Speed of Response
UDV SOAR 4.1 also has notable export potential. The platform is positioned not only for the domestic market but also for adoption by overseas security operations centers, especially in highly digitalized countries where demand for cybersecurity automation is rising.
Russian SOAR platforms are increasingly competitive in automating incident investigation and reducing analyst fatigue. Future development directions include expanding the AI assistant for use in large enterprise and government environments, as well as deeper integrations with SIEM, EDR, and NDR systems to enable end-to-end automation.
On the domestic market, automated incident response is becoming a necessity for threat monitoring centers, SOCs, and large enterprises. With security teams facing massive volumes of daily alerts, fast and standardized response workflows are critical – a role that platforms like UDV SOAR are designed to fill. In this context, continued development of such solutions contributes to higher cyber resilience across Russian businesses and public-sector organizations.
Automating Incident Response at Scale
Russian companies are increasingly deploying SOAR platforms in response to the surge in cyber threats and the shortage of information security specialists. One example is MaxPatrol O2, a meta-product from Positive Technologies that maps attacker kill chains, predicts unacceptable events, and automatically disrupts attacks. R-Vision SOAR integrates with vulnerability management systems, demonstrating strong demand for orchestration platforms that can automate vulnerability handling. It also integrates with the automated incident processing system of FinCERT, enabling structured data exchange with regulators.
At SberAnalytics, the deployment of R-Vision SOAR has resulted in faster incident response and more balanced workloads for security teams.
By 2025, corporate automation has begun shifting from traditional robotic process automation toward AI-powered digital assistants capable of replacing entire teams, such as copilots and autonomous agents. Looking ahead to 2026, AI factories are expected to scale computing resources, while advances in multi-agent architectures and MCP ecosystems will further increase agent autonomy.
Globally, automated threat response – including SOAR platforms – is becoming standard practice. Rising cyber incident volumes, highlighted by agencies such as CISA, are driving demand for automation. Between 2022 and 2024, stricter requirements for rapid response and reduced human error accelerated the adoption of cybersecurity automation, attack simulation, and machine learning techniques.
Product Value and Market Impact
The release of UDV SOAR 4.1 marks a significant milestone for the Russian SOAR market, strengthening UDV Group’s position as a key developer of cybersecurity automation platforms. Expanded playbook and task management capabilities, combined with an enhanced AI assistant, increase the platform’s value, particularly for large-scale infrastructures. Automated incident response is increasingly becoming a baseline requirement for defending against modern cyber threats.
Further product development is expected to focus on stronger AI-driven response logic and broader integrations with monitoring and threat management systems. Interest in domestic cybersecurity automation platforms is projected to grow both within Russia and internationally, intensifying competition with foreign SOAR products and driving continued improvements in functionality and localization.
