Security automation is going to be key for organizations to proactively protect themselves and also investigate incidents.
Automation can now encompass everything from managing threat intelligence to vulnerability management, firewall management to account monitoring to penetration testing, says Ty Miller, founder and managing director of Threat Intelligence, a Sydney-based consultancy.
In fact, more than 90% of a penetration test can be automated, ranging from tasks such as reconnaissance, fingerprinting/scanning, automated attacks and exploitation. But the last 8% or so does need to be done by humans, such as advanced exploitation work.
