Considering the increasing importance of cybersecurity, what are the key benefits and challenges of merging network operations with security operations?

Network automation can emulate SMEs at scale, making it a better fit for this problem.

What future trends do you foresee in network automation and NetOps?

One trend I've seen is the use of no-code/low-code, which essentially democratizes automation - making it available and accessible to every network engineer.

No-code automation eliminates bottlenecks and allows non-technical staff to automate ANY NetOps procedures that could otherwise only be done by a few network engineers who know Python or Ansible.

It has many uses in NetOps, from outage prevention to network security, including automating common diagnostic and troubleshooting tests, identifying configuration drift, network discovery and mapping, and testing if security products are operating as expected.
