Automation and artificial intelligence in enterprise security - Computer Business Review

The accelerating pace of change in enterprise security and the speed with which new attacks move and mutate means that some degree of automation of enterprise security is now essential. To put it even more bluntly – attackers are using automated tools to attack your organisation so there is no choice but to use similar tools to help your defences. Some staff may fear this will lead to deskilling of their jobs but really the opposite is true. Automation of repetitive tasks means freeing up time for more interesting and important work. It should allow staff to keep skills and knowledge up-to-date and to take a more proactive, less reactive, role in the organisation.
