Eliminating Human Error

There are several avenues you can take to reduce
the human error associated with the typical
security processes. There is also one that enables
you to completely eliminate it – automation.

By automating the configuration and structure of
your organization’s security policies on its firewalls
and routers, you have the power to fully rid your
organization of human error.

Aside from eliminating this major cause of data
breaches, automating your processes can also
accelerate the changes these configurations must
go through and ultimately increase your
business’s agility.

After all this, if you still find yourself yearning for
the newest technologies, at least do us a favor
and try to make the most out of your existing infrastructure first.

Then by all means explore what else is out there. But be careful to avoid falling for every shiny
new object or you may find your company knee-deep in the next big data breach.
