BOULDER, Colo., Sept. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), a leading IT and data management research and consulting firm, today announced it will host a research webinar titled "Transform Your Security Operations with Security Automation and Orchestration," featuring David Monahan, managing research director of security and risk management at EMA.

Security automation and orchestration (SOAR) is a part of everyday life in IT. It is the sophistication of that automation, however, that sets organizations apart. Automation is the act of removing humans from repetitive and often mundane tasks that absorb most of security analysts' time, while orchestration is the stringing together of these individual tasks into workflows of the automations.

In new research conducted by EMA, enterprises deploying automations saw over 50% improvement in efficiency. Thirty percent of enterprises using in-house automations feel that they are limited by the inability to create more complex automations and orchestrations that they could achieve if they invested in SOAR technology. On average, those deploying SOAR revealed that 15% of their existing processes and procedures have operational gaps. The survey also uncovered that 43% of organizations tend to underestimate the amount of time it will take to implement their SOAR automations after purchase.

During this webinar, Monahan will:

  • Provide more insights into EMA's new research on security automation and orchestration
  • Outline best practice advice on how to avoid common pitfalls
  • Discuss how businesses have achieved significant levels of optimization in their SecOps teams—getting more done, faster—with the limited personnel they have

The webinar is Thursday, September 26 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern. Registration is available at http://info.enterprisemanagement.com/security-automation-and-orchestration-webinar-pr
