CISO IT – Automation and Security Perfection, E03
Update: 2025-09-30
Description
In this episode of the Automox CISO IT Podcast, host Jason Kikta, CISO at Automox, explores how CISOs can advocate for automation maturity across IT and security teams. Jason breaks down why automation is critical for:
- Reducing human error and noise in detection
- Accelerating response speed during mass exploitation events
- Freeing up security teams to focus on high-value tasks
- Driving consistency and precision across IT operations
From worms of the early internet to today’s rapid weaponization of exploits like Log4j, Jason shares lessons from the field and why automation is no longer optional for security leaders. Whether you’re focused on patching, configuration, or incident response, this episode shows how automation maturity improves resilience, efficiency, and your ability to outpace attackers.
