Week 8 Posting - Automation Concepts and Technologies

 Cyber Security automation has a massive upside, improving accuracy and efficiency while reducing the amount of redundancy and incidence.  However, I am leaning more to disagreeing with cyber security automation “leveling” the playing field. We still need sys and network admins to monitor and maintain said programs. The amount of risk and consequences still persist. Attackers are always on the clock and they won’t be waiting for the automated security to keep up with them. Matter of fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if they manipulate the defenses. How do we, as users, know if we’re under attack when the automated security doesn’t react or report any breach? Lastly, I want to point out is the “human error” into utilizing an AI focused defense system, which the automated system itself depends on the sys admin’s configuration ability. One misstep or mistake can be catastrophic (not too dramatic).
