Automation in the world of information security allows teams to move more swiftly in the face of persistent threats while stitching together best-in-class tools that get the job done. This allows smaller teams to do more, but rather than eliminating the need for security talent, such technologies are freeing up bandwidth for analysts and others to engage in the meaningful work that requires a human touch.
Join this session to learn:
- How automation and orchestration are playing a role in today’s security stack
- Areas where your peers refuse to automate, and why
- The future of security automation, including under malicious actors

In this session, you will discuss:

- The challenges cloud IAM creates for IT and cybersecurity professionals
- How leading organizations are governing cloud IAM to reduce risk and the chance of a data breach
