Most hardware and software devices on your network need to be accurately configured, backed up and monitored for configuration and performance changes. For medium to large networks, performing these tasks manually is extremely time-intensive and easy to make mistakes.
Administrators spend a lot of time granting user access rights when employees join, leave, switch departments or assume responsibilities. Key aspects of access rights management can be automated and even offloaded from IT to line-of-business teams, giving you extra bandwidth to solve critical problems in business.
According to a recent Cisco study, 46% of organizations have had an incident caused by an uncovered vulnerability. Automating key patch management processes (compiling, updating and reporting) will help your organization become more efficient and secure. When you lack IT automation tools, your help desk staff and employees feel it. There are many benefits to automating IT service management processes, including reduced MTTR and enhanced CSAT.
Security automation allows you to avoid time-intensive manual tasks such as scouring log data for threats. SEM offers machine-driven normalization of logs and files, along with advanced search and data visualization options. Compare network activity to an integrated threat intelligence database, which offers researched, regularly updated insight into known threats such as malicious IPs. This immediate, actionable intelligence helps empower you to address security and compliance concerns more quickly.
Use built-in active responses designed to automate a wide range of threat response actions. You can perform multiple response actions at once. For example, you can include rules in the constantly updated feed of malicious hosts to block traffic to and from the sources of the problem. You can also instantly enable or disable accounts, turn off devices and even block USB connections.
Take your monitoring and management to the next level with automation on the Orion Platform. “Automation is an integral part of an effective and streamlined network management platform and is often overlooked. The Orion Platform and SolarWinds SIEM solutions include a variety of automation capabilities out of the box. box to help you get started, above all is ServiceNow automated ticketing, ”said Prineel Padayachy, CTO at ATS Network Management.
“This functionality is natively integrated and provides great flexibility in automated ticket management. Other automations include Windows Services Restart, Script or PowerShell Execution, Change VM Resources, etc. If you have a Server & Application Monitor (SAM) and you are monitoring an application, your triggering actions will likely include an NPM event log alert as well as an e-mail alert. Just by adding the “restart a service” action, Orion will automatically try to restart a failed service. A reset action will follow to confirm that the service is running again. ”
