What is
Security Hyperautomation?
Hyperautomation is a term that’s taking the cybersecurity world by storm. It’s now being used by many security companies, but what does it mean and how is it transforming SecOps for the better?
Security Hyperautomation is a Critical Enabler
Gartner defines Hyperautomation as a business-driven, disciplined approach that organizations use to rapidly identify, vet, and automate as many business and IT processes as possible. Security Hyperautomation involves the orchestrated use of multiple technologies, tools, or platforms, including: artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, low-code/no-code tools, packaged software, and other types of decision, process, and task automation tools.
With a rise in malware and phishing threats among enterprises and an increase in adoption of IoT and BYOD trends, Allied Market Research indicates there is a need for hyperautomation in security. The global cyber-talent shortage prevents companies from scaling their hiring and operations. eSecurity Planet recommends that hyperautomation is the first step to take because it protects and preserves a business’s ability to grow.
Hyperautomating your enterprise security is one of the most effective investments your organization can make. The report notes that with the right application, hyperautomation delivers significant productivity and efficiency. Gartner estimates the overall impact to be extremely high, so the time to capitalize is now.
The Gartner Emerging Tech Impact Radar: 2023 report features “Hyperautomation in Security” as a Critical Enabler. Based on time-to-adoption, it is one of the most impactful emerging technologies and trends in 2023.
How Security Hyperautomation Outperforms SOAR
How Hyperautomation Benefits People
Enhanced job satisfaction
Enables security analysts to focus on complex issues requiring human intuition, expertise, and decision-making.
Reduced employee burnout
Reduces the workload and tedium by automating routine tasks.
Follow the sun (24/7/365) availability
Supplement your IT security teams with AI-powered security automation, enabling security teams to respond to security incidents and alerts around the clock without human intervention.
Professional growth and upskilling
Enables more time for learning, mentoring, and development versus performing ‘busy work’ better suited for AI to analyze at scale consistently.
Collaborative work environment
Facilitates teamwork among analysts by centralizing the tooling, updating security cases with contextual information, and providing updates across teams in communication platforms like Slack, MS Teams, Discord, Zoom, and many more.
Intelligent user self-service with natural language processing (NLP)
Empowers users who prefer self-service options to quickly and easily make requests or ask questions using natural language to achieve effective resolutions without waiting to speak to a representative.
Contextual Case Management
Auto-prioritizes cases based on your classifications, such as low, medium, and high, within the case management tool and summarizes the key findings, actions taken, and timeline all within the case automatically.
How Hyperautomation Benefits Technology
Create powerful workflows in minutes
Launch your first automated flow in minutes with an intuitive and straightforward no-code interface,expert-curated, content-rich templatized workflow library, and intelligent recommendations. Gets security teams started instantly automating manual tasks at scale.
Go beyond APIs with limitless extensibility
Gain vast flexibility to expand use cases with capabilities such as SSH, PowerShell, SQL, Python, BASH, Kubernetes, AWS, GCP, Azure CLI, and other scripting or programming languages.
Connect any application, service, or server
No punching holes in firewalls for VPN services or reverse proxies, because Security Hyperautomation utilizes zero-trust containerized agents making outbound-only connections for on-premise environment connectivity.
Data integration
Facilitates the conversion and normalization of various sources of information into a standardized format autonomously with LLMs, enabling seamless integration and communication between disparate systems and tools, improving the efficiency and accuracy of automated workflows.
Standardized security configuration
Enforces uniform security configurations across on-premise, private or public cloud, and SaaS applications, resulting in a consistent security posture across all environments and resources.
Continuous configuration management
Scans for configuration drifts across on-premise and cloud environments and automatically alerts, reports, and resolves any identified configuration drift issues.
Adaptive access control
Dynamically adjusts access controls based on user classification, behavior, and resource sensitivity in addition to automated user onboarding and offboarding, significantly bolstering an organization’s security posture against account misuse and account compromise.
