As IT infrastructures grow in complexity, the need for automation becomes more pressing. Security professionals are under pressure to increase their understanding of best practices at the rate in which today’s digital businesses change, but often lack the time to apply that knowledge to all of the devices in their modern multi-vendor networks. Organizations across industries are looking for ways to increase visibility into current and possible issues with security devices, and are turning to automation for continuous validation to determine if their infrastructure is functioning as intended. The gap for many organizations is knowing what tasks are good candidates to automate and determining which operational issues are most likely to cause interruptions. With the Indeni Platform utilizing the Ansible project, once a valid issue is found organizations can benefit from auto-triage and remediation of issues, taking tedious but important maintenance tasks off their plate.
