Security comes to mind for many organizations — and for good reason. Recovery from a data breach is extremely costly. In fact, the average data breach is worth more than $ 8.6 million in the US.
One of the best ways to defend against cyberthreats is through the use and implementation of security automation. According to a Ponemon Institute study, there is a significant difference — 84%— between the cost of a breach for organizations that deploy security automation ($ 2.9 million) and those that have not ($ 6.7 million).
Automated security operations can help you prioritize and respond quickly to threats. Continuing it using artificial intelligence (AI) could help optimize security efforts by quickly identifying and testing threats, freeing up workers to focus on more complex tasks.
Let’s look at four ways automation can enhance your security commitment:
1. Reduce risk and downtime
In today’s highly competitive marketplace, downtime can mean missing customers. What if you could increase the resilience of your business against attacks to maintain uptime?
Learn the benefits of automating data management workflows in our Automated security incident response webinar. Karl Klaessig, director of product marketing for Security Operations at ServiceNow, and Chris Derton, a sales engineering manager for data security company Rubrik, discuss ways to simplify virtual machine management using a single service- level agreement (SLA) policy engine.
2. Harden the surface of your attack
Digital transformation and cloud computing have greatly extended the surface of the attack, putting organizations at greater risk of cyberthreats. Protecting the surface of attack requires smart prioritization and open communication.
Watch our Using automation to solidify your expanding webinar over the attack to learn how to hold back the galaxy and work more efficiently. Three ServiceNow experts share practical tactics to help you work smarter and avoid being surprised.
3. Spotlight vulnerabilities
Cybercriminals will do many ways to destroy organizations. You need to stay ahead of their moves. To do that, you need insight into the ways they think.
Gain an understanding of the decisions and operations of attackers in our Security automation and adversarial insights webinar. You will also learn how automation can help you respond quickly to new threats.
4. Enable continuous monitoring
Your risk management framework (RMF) should not be rigid or narrowly focused. For the best security posture, you need integrated risk management and ongoing authorization and monitoring. This combination will help improve efficiency and visibility. Learn how in our Transformating RMF automation webinar.
