In stretched teams, automation can significantly increase security effectiveness and reduce the chances of a successful attack. It can help identify suspicious activities, mitigate risk and minimise human involvement (and error), freeing up cybersecurity teams to focus on more strategic issues. In future hyperautomation will combine the power of AI and machine learning to transform security process management. This session will outline discuss the advantages of automation, its role in improving security provision and the path to hyperautomation.
