Chris DeRamus: Providing a platform that secures cloud data through automation has resulted in companies becoming enablers of the cloud. Chris DeRamus: Cloud operations will improve and become more secure once automation is implemented early on in the cloud development lifecycle, significantly decreasing the potential for human error.
Without proper planning, organizations adopting security automation tools can fall victim to common missteps that quickly lead to less efficiency and a weaker security posture. Start by examining the processes and procedures your organization's security team already has in place and identify the tasks that consume the majority of team member's time.
