Gurvinder wants to explain the advantages of investing in automating security workflows to his organization’s leadership. Recent audit findings have shown that systems are not all fully patched and that settings may vary between systems using the same operating system. Which common benefit of automation should he emphasize with leadership?

The lack of consistency could be addressed by enforcing baselines across the organization. Gurvinder should emphasize this, then explain the other common benefits of security automation, including scaling in a secure manner, improving reaction time, automation’s impact as a workforce multiplier, efficiency, employee retention advantages, and the ability to more easily standardize infrastructure configurations.
