Automating Information Security

Presented at RVAsec 2019, May 22, 2019, 11 a.m. (50 minutes).

While the complexity of modern security breaches continues to increase security professionals have to find a way to handle the increasing number and complexity of attacks. Security automation is key to maintaining network security but has not been heavily adopted. This presentation will use NIST-defined security controls to provide insight into how automation can be leveraged for information security.
