Let us define these terms first.

13. © 2017 SPLUNK INC.
Orchestration
▶ Brings together or integrates different
technologies and tools
▶ Security-specific or non-security-
specific
▶ Provides the ability to coordinate
informed decision making, formalize
and automate responsive actions
Automation
▶ Focus is on how to make machines do
task-oriented "human work”
▶ Allows multiple tasks or "playbooks" to
potentially execute numerous tasks
▶ Automation is a subset of orchestration
