Automation and Security Perfection

Episode 03   Published February 16, 2024 17 minute watch

Summary

Automox CISO Jason Kikta treats automation maturity as a security imperative, not an IT efficiency play. Automating IT processes cuts human error and lowers the noise floor. That makes the true positives in your detection easier to find. Automated patching and configuration changes also let you respond to mass exploitation events like Log4j before attackers weaponize them. Security demands a degree of perfection. Patch 99 of 100 vulnerable systems and you are still breachable. Automation is what gives you verifiable coverage across every endpoint.
