BS SGT 3 / Scaling, Automation, and Cost Optimization within Security Programs

Cybersecurity never stands still. Organizations face increasing threats, necessitating scalable and efficient solutions. Traditional manual processes are often inadequate due to resource constraints and growing complexity. The panel will explore the critical need to scale cybersecurity programs, with an emphasis on the role of automation in enhancing detection, response, and operational efficiency. We will discuss cost optimization strategies, including cloud-based solutions, resource allocation, and tool rationalization, to achieve robust and cost-effective cybersecurity. With new technology, there needs to be clear implementation plans, a phased approach, supported by key metrics to measure success to ensure organizational needs are met. The discussion will also address the potential risks of over-automation and underscore the importance of balancing automation with human oversight to maintain compliance and operational effectiveness. The panel will conclude with potential future trends in cybersecurity automation.
