Overview
Today’s security and IT teams are struggling to keep up. The digital landscape is constantly changing and between disparate, unintegrated systems and repetitive, manual processes, security teams are having a difficult time getting ahead. There are too many alerts, not enough time to investigate them all, and staff are on the verge of burnout.
Security orchestration and automation (SOAR) tools introduce ways for security teams to streamline and improve their everyday processes. But, is your organization ready for automation?
Join a panel of experts for an engaging discussion where you’ll learn:
- Key considerations that should be in place before implementing automation
- When is the right time to add automation (and when it isn’t)
- Which common security tasks are ideal to automate
- How to prepare your organization for SOAR
