From Reactive to Operationalized – Reducing Costs Through Maturing Security Processes

Is ‘faster, better, cheaper’ security and compliance possible?   How can you increase the effectiveness of your security efforts and reduce overall costs?  Aligning your security efforts to business functions and automating repetitive tasks will enable your security team to focus on strategic issues.  You can achieve this by integrating and automating many of these tasks across organizational silos by using a process automation framework.

In the first chapter, we set the stage for defining, identifying, and creating workflows with a focus on prioritizing run book procedures that organize, orchestrate, and bind them together. Chapter 2 constructs a functional model that incorporates the key ingredients, integral concepts, and essential elements that make up an RBA system. This chapter also introduces some specific citations and examples from existing RBA or ITPA vendors already active in this exciting new market space.

Who can you trust to deliver on the need for ITPA in your enterprise? Identifying the right vendor to partner with and work through your ITPA goals can be challenging. However, through research, you can answer the appropriate questions and base your technical evaluations on the right criteria to ensure success. Research is absolutely essential, and if you know the right questions to ask, the work becomes much less daunting and produces much more useful results.
