Automate to Elevate Your Cybersecurity

How Smart Automation is Redefining Risk Management

Simone Santana, Regional Sales Director

In today's rapidly evolving threat landscape, cybersecurity teams are under immense pressure to protect their organisations from a constant barrage of attacks. The sheer volume of vulnerabilities, coupled with the increasing sophistication of cybercriminals, makes it challenging to maintain a strong security posture.

Enter automation

By automating routine tasks and processes, organisations can significantly improve their efficiency, reduce human error, and enhance their overall security posture. Skybox Security, a leading provider of exposure management solutions, offers a comprehensive suite of automation capabilities designed to empower security teams. With Skybox, organisations can:

Overcome skills shortages: Automation can help address the shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals by automating routine, time-consuming tasks.

Simplify compliance: Skybox’s automation tools can help organisations streamline compliance efforts and ensure adherence to industry standards.

Accelerate vulnerability identification and remediation: By automating vulnerability scanning and remediation processes, organisations can quickly identify and address security risks.

Close the focus and visibility gaps: Skybox’s automation capabilities can help organisations gain better visibility into their attack surfaces and prioritise the most critical risks.

According to Simone Santana, Regional Sales Director at Skybox, "The sheer volume of vulnerabilities dilutes focus and makes it challenging to prioritise the highest risks, leaving security teams with a so-called ‘focus gap’. In addition, many organisations also have a ‘visibility gap’, with no single source of truth of what’s happening in their environments."

"Amid accelerating threats, IT and security teams are under undue pressure to reduce risk and assure cyber resilience. Manual management of attack surfaces, security policies and vulnerability assessments consume valuable time, delaying crucial security improvements and creating more risk. The flood of security requests—like firewall and network policy changes—only adds to the workload, making it unsustainable.”

This is why more global organisations are turning to automation where it matters. How does Skybox automation work?

Skybox's automation platform is designed to streamline the entire exposure management lifecycle, including attack surface, security policy, and vulnerability management workflows. By automating tasks such as security policy management, vulnerability assessment, and risk prioritisation, Skybox helps organisations save time, reduce errors, and improve their overall security posture.

Key benefits of Skybox automation: Improved efficiency and productivity: Automation can significantly reduce the time and effort required to perform routine security tasks.

Enhanced security posture: By automating key security processes, organisations can improve their ability to detect and respond to threats.

Reduced risk of human error: Automation can help eliminate errors caused by manual processes and ensure consistent application of security policies. 

Improved compliance: Skybox's automation tools can help organisations streamline compliance efforts and reduce the risk of non-compliance.

Cost savings: By automating routine tasks, organisations can reduce the need for additional staff and resources.
