Overall cybersecurity attacks are increasing multiple ways. And the only way you can really address this situation is through technology and automation. Security has always been challenging but add to that the fact that we have a serious shortage overall in the market of qualified people. And infrastructure continues to evolve rapidly. The only way we’re going to get the bad guys is by leveraging technology, leveraging automation. The great way to do that is using security automation.
Companies moving to the cloud have embraced automation. And they have seen clear results—for instance, they’re able to use their resources more efficiently and save money. If a load goes up, the number of machines will increase automatically. When the load goes down, a bunch of machines are automatically killed. So, their costs are reduced.
We always had an IT function where the operations people were deploying. Developers wrote code and IT did the deployment. Then in development, things started going way faster than deployment. At some point, they decided to deal with it, understanding that business needed to move fast. So developers started writing automation into their code. And that revolution came about and so we have developers who basically write how things should work in production. That’s how DevOps came about.
