Auto remediation in cybersecurity refers to the automated process of identifying, containing and resolving security vulnerabilities or threats without human intervention. This proactive approach aims to minimize the impact of security incidents, reduce response times and enhance overall cyber resilience. By automating remediation tasks, organizations can streamline their incident response processes, alleviate the burden on cybersecurity teams, and improve their ability to adapt to the rapidly evolving threat landscape.

This video lesson, taught by Syed Belal, global director of OT/ICS cybersecurity, Hexagon, will cover: 

• Why enterprises must exercise caution when implementing auto remediation;
• The importance of ensuring automated actions are well-defined and tested thoroughly;
• Avoiding unintended consequences by aligning automated actions with the organization's security policies and compliance requirements.
