Introduction

This guide provides the procedures to install, deploy, and run apps and associated App Hosts.

The app feature allows you to install and configure a Python-based app, which is a software package that extends the functionality of the SOAR Platform. It can contain one or more playbook components, an external code component, or both. Playbook components include Python scripts, rules, workflows, functions, message destinations, fields, and data tables. An external code component can access and return external data, interact or integrate with other security systems, or be a utility that performs a specific action.

Apps are available in the IBM Security App Exchange. You can also write your own apps using the SOAR SDK, as described in the App Developer's Guide.
