10 Automation Use Cases for Cyber Resilience
Managing and securing complex networks is a constant struggle for Network and Security teams. Network automation empowers you to streamline network device security, compliance, and lifecycle management, ensuring business continuity during disruptions, and enabling swift recovery.
Ten places automation earns its keep
- Device discovery & onboardingKilter cuts onboarding time with automated discovery, compliance enforcement, and instant backups. Manual onboarding delays new services rollouts and equipment replacements, leading to inventory backlog and old devices remaining in production.
- Backup & recoveryKilter simplifies backup and recovery with data validation, one-click restores, customizable schedules, and vast vendor support. Manual backup management is unreliable, creating constant anxiety about data loss and slow recovery times when disaster strikes.
- Device OS updatesKilter offers secure, automated patching with seamless rollbacks, high-availability awareness, and pre-built multi-step updates for optimal network security and uptime. Slow and inconsistent software patching leaves organizations vulnerable to cyberattacks.
- Vulnerability intelligenceSmart automation prioritizes critical security fixes on essential devices, keeping your network safe with an always-updated risk score and assessment. Organizations struggle to balance urgent vulnerability mitigation with complex patching processes and messy rollbacks.
- Network source of truthKilter auto-discovers your network, keeping inventory current with real-time data. No more manual work, just a complete and accurate Network Source of Truth. Manual network security processes result in errors, inefficiencies, and a lack of real-time visibility.
- Compliance remediationKilter streamlines compliance with flexible scheduling, efficient resource usage, exception-based alerts for proactive risk management, rich reporting, and optional auto-remediation of compliance violations. Manual compliance remediation is slow, error-prone, lacks oversight, and bottlenecks risk management, never mind that compliance violations often go unnoticed (and unfixed).
- Configuration drift reporting & remediationKilter cuts through compliance complexity, surfacing critical exceptions, automating fixes, and seamlessly linking with external systems for complete issue management and resolution. Urgent troubleshooting in production networks leaves behind “temporary” changes, creating security vulnerabilities needing regular, systematic cleanup.
- SSL certificate expiration trackingKilter simplifies network certificate management with automated tracking, targeted alerts, and helpdesk integration for expiring certificates. Spreadsheet fatigue leads to expired certificates—a significant cause of network failures.
- License expiration trackingKilter automates license tracking, supports all your vendors, and gives you complete control and visibility with exception-based management. Missed license renewals lead to a scramble for vendor updates, costing time and money.
- IT service desk ticket enrichmentKilter empowers help desks with rich data and automated insights to accelerate problem-solving and improve IT service efficiency. Manual ticket enrichment creates a bottleneck in the service desk, impacting the speed and accuracy of problem resolution.
Automating repetitive tasks lets network and security teams reclaim time, reduce errors, and manage network security proactively — scaling effortlessly, with a centralized view for faster threat detection and improved compliance.
