With cyber threats and attacks rising exponentially, security has become a top priority and boardroom agenda for companies across all industries. Both compliance to regulations and risk mitigation have assumed critical importance. However, keeping networks secure at such massive scale with distributed devices and users remains a daunting task. Traditional security measures involving manual processes are unable to prevent, detect and respond to threats in real-time across hybrid IT environments spanning physical, virtual and cloud platforms. Network automation is enabling round-the-clock security through application of consistent configurations, control of access policies, automated vulnerability assessment, continuous monitoring of threats and auto-remediation of anomalies before they cause damage. It is helping improve change management for faster rollout of security updates. Analytics over telemetry data is further enhancing visibility and risk assessments. By reducing the attack surface and implementing predictive strategies, network automation is lowering security risks and assisting compliance audits. As regulations tighten and stakes rise with every breach, automation driven proactive security will see heightened focus and investment from enterprises and governments alike to strengthen resilience against cybercrimes.

For instance, the increasing network data traffic is evident in the May 2022 report by GSMA Association, stating a 21% hike in GSMA's network data traffic in 2021. Moreover, according to a 2022 report by Ericsson, the global mobile data traffic reached around 90 EB per month by the end of 2022, with projections of a fourfold increase to 325 EB per month by 2028. The surge in data traffic underscores the necessity for heightened utilization of network automation.
