Next-Level Automation: A Conversation with Automox's Cybersecurity Experts

Episode 09   Published September 19, 2024 19 minute watch

Summary

Automox's own security team runs the product well beyond patch deployment: tool health checks, compliance enforcement, incident-response scripts, and a script one engineer wrote to detect the XZ vulnerability across endpoints. Ryan Braunstein, security operations team lead, and Mat Lee, security engineer, describe worklets on demand that turn a help desk ticket into a self-service automation gated by identity checks, and event-driven workflows where a SOAR alert calls the Automox API to run policies on an affected endpoint. Both say automating repetitive work makes your job lighter rather than replacing you, since a person still has to oversee the system.
