Information Security Automation: Can You Automate Security Culture? | Redefining CyberSecurity With Tomasz Bania

The amount of work security teams have to handle is increasing exponentially and takes a severe toll on their ability to keep up with the threats. Thankfully, there is technology. Bring on security automation!

Automation sounds simple enough, right? But is it? And do security teams automate the right things?

When considering security automation, it's natural to look at the opportunity purely from a security operations perspective: responding to an incident, taking care of alerts, and looking into threat intelligence. But there's much more to it than that.

What are some of the basics of automation that teams get right?

What impact does that automation have on protection, detection, monitoring, and response?

How can security automation drive value not only for the InfoSec team but for the business overall?

When you dive deeper into this, you'll hopefully realize there are many IT- and business-related processes that you can—and should—be automating and integrating into your InfoSec program regularly. That's what we do in this episode with Dolby Labs' Tomasz Bania.

Tomasz presents some examples for how organizations can take a set of single actions, bringing them all together to potentially get to a point where you are doing the entire end-to-end process, leveraging a fully-automated—or, at least, a mostly-automated—implementation.

In this episode, we get into some real-world cases that InfoSec teams can take and operationalize. We also take the opportunity to talk about the relationship amongst business types, their level of maturity, and whether or not there is such thing as "automation culture." If there is, can we actually automate that too?

If you want, even more, be sure to catch Tomasz's RSAC 365 session (link below).
