In a large enterprise network, the security team is implementing a Security Automation framework to enhance incident response times. They decide to automate the process of threat detection and response using a combination of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems and Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) tools. During a simulated attack, the SIEM detects unusual login attempts from multiple geographic locations within a short time frame. The SOAR tool is configured to automatically block the offending IP addresses and notify the security team. What is the primary benefit of this automated response in the context of security operations?
