Security automation, orchestration and response speeds up the incident response process by replacing repetitive, manual tasks with automated workflows.
Security Automation and orchestration
What does successful network automation look like? What are the metrics that can measure the effectiveness of this practice and its business value?
Some will say we should look at time and cost savings, but we should not forget about driving consistency and a simpler operation to reduce risk.
While there are generic use-cases, the real value of automation is truly uncovered when you are able to translate your existing processes into automated workflows that need no human intervention in order to be executed.
If your current processes are too complex, you can start by breaking them down into smaller chunks of work that will become the building blocks of your workflows. The simpler these units of work are, the more reliable/reusable they become.
