Network Security Automation

Most security breaches today are not the result of zero-day attacks but the exploitation of security issues such as misconfigured firewalls, weak security controls, and ineffective vulnerability management strategies, often due to manual processes. An automated network security system removes the risk of human error associated with manual configuration because each time a change is made to network access, firewall rules, and routes, it is automatically checked for errors or new vulnerabilities before it is pushed live.

Many large organizations assess network and security policy compliance on a weekly basis, yet studies show that over 90% of network and security professionals are concerned about failing network security audits. An automated security policy system provides continuous tracking for ongoing policy and device checks, recertifications, and scheduled compliance reports, so you are always audit-ready.

Manually raising, assessing, and approving firewall changes creates a bureaucratic bottleneck and these time-consuming tasks are prone to human error, especially in large, complex networks. Automated change management workflow tools significantly reduce the time spent on repetitive tasks like firewall rule management and device provisioning. Automating them not only reduces the risk of mistakes but also focuses network teams on more valuable tasks.
