# Security Orchestration

Security orchestration connects the tools a team already runs, scanners, threat feeds, ticketing, messaging, and cloud APIs, so they pass data between each other and follow one coordinated process. Instead of an analyst copying an IP from one console into another, the orchestration layer routes that value automatically and triggers the next step. The output of one tool becomes the input of the next.

Orchestration is broader than [security automation](/glossary/security-automation), which automates a single task. Orchestration sequences many automated and manual steps into an end-to-end flow, deciding what runs, in what order, and under what conditions. It is the coordination half of [SOAR](/glossary/soar), where the response and case-management pieces complete the picture.

The value is consistency and speed. A documented orchestrated flow runs the same way every time, removes the gaps where a handoff gets dropped, and frees analysts from glue work to focus on decisions a machine should not make.

In a Trickest workflow, orchestration is the model itself: nodes for individual tools wire together into a graph, [scheduled scans](/glossary/scheduled-scans) kick the flow off on a cadence, and the platform handles the data passing that [workflow orchestration](/glossary/workflow-orchestration) demands at scale.
