Risk management, compliance and IT governance are core priorities in any organization. They also happen to be complex and highly-interrelated factors that form the basis of a company’s cybersecurity posture. Because of this, organizations can’t afford to look at each in isolation.

But the benefits of security automation don’t come, well, automatically. That’s because security automation is not just one tool or capability; it’s more like an ecosystem. In reality, security automation is a suite of functions that must all work together to secure data, systems and processes in an enterprise that is operating at scale.
