The problem today is that there are too many tools, too little integration among them, and more noise than a team can analyze and understand – all of which add up to less visibility into threats and less efficient security teams. Automation is supposed to solve the “tool fatigue” problem, surfacing the most critical issues by running playbooks against common threats and freeing up valuable resources for other tasks. However, expectations for automation have outpaced its capabilities to drastically reduce human intervention in security monitoring.

Get the whitepaper to discover:

  • Why organizations have high expectations for automation – and why they need to revise these expectations
  • How the problems of “too many tools” and “too much data” negatively impact data visibility, and
  • How automation, when applied correctly, simplifies security and adds context to threats and workflows
