Hands Off – Make the Machines Do It!
Manual processes in security operations are no longer sufficient to keep pace with emerging threats and increasing workloads. This talk explores the journey of fostering a culture of automation within a security operations team to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and improve analyst job satisfaction. Attendees will learn practical strategies to identify high-impact automation opportunities, overcome resistance to change, and empower team members with the tools and skills to adopt an automation-first mindset. By integrating automation into the fabric of daily workflows, teams can not only improve operational performance but also focus on more strategic, value-driven security initiatives. Whether you're starting your automation journey or looking to scale existing efforts, this session will provide actionable insights to build a resilient, adaptive, and forward-looking security operations culture.
