What is the purpose of traffic content inspection in network security?

To manage IP address allocation

To examine packet payloads for malicious content

A security operations center (SOC) is overwhelmed with alerts and is struggling to respond to incidents in a timely manner. The SOC manager wants to automate the initial triage of alerts, including enrichment with threat intelligence and the creation of incident tickets, while still allowing analysts to review and approve actions. Which solution should the manager implement?

Deploy a SOAR platform with playbooks that automatically enrich alerts with threat intelligence and create tickets, but require analyst approval for containment actions.

Increase the number of analysts in the SOC to handle the alert volume manually.

Use a TIP to automatically send threat intelligence to all security tools without any workflow automation.

Configure the SIEM to automatically block all IP addresses that trigger alerts.
