What Is Security Automation?
Search IT Operations, Tuesday, March 18th, 2025
Security automation uses technology to remove high-volume manual processes from security operations to detect cyberthreats, which saves time by integrating different workflows into repeatable processes.
For example, the human process of ingesting and analyzing log data from disparate security devices requires significant time. Security automation eliminates this manual examination, providing immediate ingestion and basic analysis.
Fundamentally, security automation reduces the need for human intervention and speeds up the identification and mitigation of security issues.
