<br>
Automation and orchestration represent a paradigm shift in how
security operations are conducted. Automation involves the use of
technology to perform tasks with minimal human intervention,
streamlining processes such as threat detection, incident response,
and system remediation. Orchestration goes a step further by
integrating these automated tasks into a cohesive workflow, enabling
seamless coordination across different security tools and systems.
Together, these approaches can significantly improve the speed,
accuracy, and efficiency of security operations.<br>
<br>
The workshop will cover key topics including the fundamentals of
security automation, the role of orchestration in creating unified
security workflows, and best practices for implementing these
technologies in a network security environment. Participants will
gain hands-on experience with leading automation and orchestration
platforms, explore real-world case studies, and engage in
interactive sessions designed to solve practical security
challenges.<br>
