Automation In Cybersecurity Enabling A Secured Future
Digitalization has ventured forth into advanced growth of businesses through rapid modernisation in technological modifications and adoptions. With increased usage of digital services and the ongoing pandemic situation, artificial intelligence has emerged a crucial requirement for organizations to follow Automation of Services. In parallel to the remote working facilities provided, cybersecurity has called for its importance in ensuring data privacy and encryption to maintain a governed structure of effective advancements.
Cloud Technologies has been implemented at source to revolutionize real-time access of data and services for better solutions provided to the users. Finely stated by Steve Jobs, Co-Founder, CEO & Chairman of Apple Inc,
I don't need a hard disk in my computer if I can get to the server faster . . . carrying around these non-connected computers is byzantine by comparison.
With increased usage of mobile devices and cheap access to cloud technologies, one can easily opt for better solutions much faster as compared to the conventional ways of storing and accessing while leading to an uncertainity of hardware failure. However, with such technologies being rapidly integrated, let fall the security turns up its essence in smoothing out the challenges. Common challenges as securing from Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), Data Loss, Data Breaches, Insecure APIs - forms the base of ensuring state-of-art security, unavoidable for enterprises engaged with public data usage and management.
CYBERSECURITY AUTOMATION
Robotic Process Automation
Often manual tasks are continuous or monotonous to be performed which requires the implementation of modfications through Robotic Process Automation (RPA) enabling real-time performance improvements in manufacturing and service sectors. A 24/7 service facility and introduction of bots in resolving common matters as FAQs, ensures increased productivity and security through enhanced accuracy in stamping out the vulnerabilities involved within a process of task. Scaling its operational efficiency in sensitive data handling and in-built security assures easy and trustworthy deployment of automation at all levels of an enterprise. As noted by Thomas Tschersich,
Security is much more about the lengths to which I go to protect my employees and their devices, my processes, data, company secrets, and customers - a perpetual motion machine
Certificate Management
A digital certificate is an essential feature of a network which serves as a proof of legitimacy while ensuring end-to-end encrypted data transmission. Certificate Management includes monitoring and executing certificates enabling uninterrupted network operations by preventig any faults that may cause potential outages. Automation through a certificate management tool eliminates errors or negligence of certificate renewal, issuance and installation thereby maintaining dynamic cognizance to the digital certificates of an organization.
SIEM and SOAR
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) involves methods to analyze data on updates and notifications through manual responses in effective identification of possible threats. However, such manual processes are never full proof as threats are not always known which may lead to potential data loss or security breach. Controlling such possibilities, Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) implements machine learning at core involving full automation in securing access and detecting future possible threats by analyzing all previous threat data. Such an automation system ensures threat and vulnerability management in formalizing workflow and enables automated execution of solutions to prevent attacks.
Automation not only creates real-time environment, but also provides an integrated system wherein Artificial Intelligence takes over the tasks of performing better analysis and implementation of forecasts to drive business performance. Instances of data management system as IBM Netezza enables speedy access to data workloads through advanced AI integration to NVMe based SSD solutions, faster processors and 64-bit code base for an unrivaled performance. Such data virtualization with enabled cyber security provides an edging result to better optimization and performance for a systemized growth of business while transforming to digitalization.
