Design Towards Autonomy

When does a security solution truly achieve autonomy? Is it when it can operate entirely without human intervention? Not quite! Even in self-driving vehicles, some level of input is necessary. For example, a car may learn your preferred interior temperature is 70°F, but it won't automatically adjust if you feel too cold (at 70°F) on a specific day. The point is that no system, including security solutions, can be fully automated. They require minimal guidance. The key to making security solutions autonomous lies in understanding the organization's and users' intent behind data breaches, whether malicious or negligent, to offer proactive protection. It's akin to defending against zero-day attacks by providing zero-day protection.
