About this talk

Today’s security professionals face challenges to their ability to secure their organizations’ digital assets. Threats are more sophisticated, digital infrastructures more complex, data more voluminous and cyber talent scarce. The burden is becoming overwhelming and companies are asking how they can get more capacity out of the resources they already have. While automating processes is an obvious solution, there’s historically been reticence on the part of security teams to embrace automation. This hesitation stems from an underlying fear that without a human element something will go wrong, leaving security teams spending precious time on clean-up. See how a new approach is encouraging disparate solution providers to band together to share threat intelligence in real time, enhancing the benefits of a more automated approach to security. Learning Objectives: •Understand the organizational impact of current industry challenges. •Define why security organizations often hesitate to automate their security processes. •Describe the reasons automation must be a requirement for a sound security infrastructure.
