Security and IT teams must stay continually aligned on risks and actions, but the hard part is consistently driving these actions into ITOps, whether this is proactive compliance and hardening checks or addressing risks as quickly as possible. Without automation, addressing security and compliance needs may fall to manual checks, one-off scripts, inconsistent baselines, and drift.
In this webinar, we’ll look at how organizations are embedding security frameworks directly into operational workflows, so security and compliance aren’t bolted on later, they’re built into provisioning, patching, monitoring enrollments, and response from the start and throughout the process.
What you’ll learn:
- Build security into workflows. Define repeatable automation that applies configurations, validates baselines, enrolls systems into monitoring tools, and enforces required controls as part of provisioning.
- Use a source of truth for how systems should run. Use shared, versioned security configurations and policies to drive consistent execution and reduce drift across environments.
- Scale response with event-driven automation. Trigger standardized actions from security and operations events, whether that’s isolating systems, notifying teams, or opening and closing tickets automatically.
- Stay audit-ready through automation. Automate inventory gathering, enforce compliant configurations, capture audit trails for every automated action, and generate audit reports without pulling teams into manual work.
Who should attend: ITOps, SecOps, and DevOps leaders and practitioners responsible for security and operational resilience across hybrid environments.
