Chris Usserman, principal security and threat intelligence adviser at Infoblox, has said countering cyber threats calls for agencies to further develop their cybersecurity programs through automation and orchestration.
Usserman wrote that orchestration and automation could help agencies œembrace both the proactive and reactive functions of cybersecurity through the combination of cyber strategies and tools.
œAutomation often involves sharing data between two or more security tools while orchestration embraces validated and effective processes linked with skilled people and capable technology in a way that allows the technology to respond without human intervention, he added.
He noted that agencies should leverage artificial intelligence to detect advanced threats and advance collaboration between the information technology branch and cybersecurity department.
œThe cybersecurity branch needs to understand its obligation to provide input into IT procurement activities so that security is not an afterthought, Usserman added.
He cited the need for agencies to have actionable intelligence and a comprehensive view of their IT infrastructure.
