Automating Enterprise Cyber Security

Posted by mctracy On February 22, 2023

Automating enterprise security essentially means making sure security protocols such as incident detection and response are automatically in effect when a data breach occurs. This requires preparation and precautions.

“Automation technology will help streamline processes, reduce costs, and improve efficiency, enabling businesses to stay ahead of the competition. Automation simplifies mundane tasks, freeing personnel to focus on higher value-added activities. Furthermore, it reduces redundancies and improves accuracy, helping to ensure that the right tasks are done right – the first time.” (Tech Times).

Perfecting the process early on will ensure that security measures are met when the inevitable breach happens. With the amount of security risks, security measures need to be in equal effort and volume.

“‘There are just too many security breach opportunities and endpoints for organizations to have any excuse for being slow to implement requisite automation right now,’ says Dan Makim, software engineer at Beachhead Solutions, adding that security automation needs to be implemented as early as possible in processes. ‘The right strategy here can be especially critical for thwarting incidents where manual intervention would be far too late to be effective.’” (Enterprisers Project).

For each specific industry, there are different benefits to automating enterprise security. There is increased efficiency, cost savings, and improved accuracy. Industries benefitted include manufacturing and medical services

“Manufacturing: Automated assembly lines and robots can increase production speed and reduce the need for manual labor. Customer service: Chatbots and virtual assistants can provide quick and efficient customer service, reducing the need for human customer service representatives.” (Tech Times). “Financial fraud detection: Automated systems analyze financial transactions for fraud patterns, reducing the risk of financial losses and improving overall financial security. Medical imaging: Automated image analysis detects and diagnoses diseases with high accuracy, reducing human interpretation and the potential for error.”

Overall, automating enterprise security is arguably necessary for any industry to ensure protection of enterprise. This is because of the nature of the cyber sphere.

“You can’t necessarily circle a date on the calendar when it became so, but suffice it to say that the largest organizations with the deepest resources are well past the point of being able to handle IT security with human effort and ingenuity alone. The volume and variety of threats and risks are simply too massive and too dynamic.” (Enterprisers Project).
