Pro-Active Intelligent Data Security

In any security solution, the most critical aspects are policy authoring and the inspection and remediation of security violations. Can we make this easier? Isn’t this a million-dollar question on the minds of everyone, from cybersecurity professionals and enthusiasts to executives seeking data protection? Can we entirely remove policy authoring and violation remediation from the hands of security administrators and fully automate these processes? Not possible. By now, I have emphasized many times in this book that every organization is different and every deployment scenario is unique. If we can’t eliminate these tasks, can we at least reduce the manual and maintenance efforts? Now we're talking! I feel like we are getting somewhere. This chapter is about how to build intelligent capabilities into the security system so that it can go on autopilot for a variety of tasks, resulting in proactive, intelligent data security.
