Security Automation in 2025: The Key to Cutting Costs
Embrace Security Automation, Save Costs, and Enable Your Team to Focus on What Matters Most!
In today’s fast-evolving digital world, 55% of businesses believe they are facing higher security risks than ever before. However, constrained budgets and talent shortages have become major challenges in the security space. According to research, only 11% of IT budgets are currently allocated to security, while the ideal figure should be 17%.
Are you struggling with limited resources and increasing security demands? In 2025, security automation will be the key to overcoming these challenges. By leveraging automation, businesses can reduce costs, improve efficiency, and allow security teams to focus on higher-value tasks.
Here are three critical areas where automation can help:
- Security Questionnaires
Every time you work with potential clients, your security team is likely tasked with completing lengthy security questionnaires, often containing hundreds of questions. This is particularly common in highly regulated industries like finance and healthcare. Automation tools can help you auto-fill repetitive answers, centralize security information, and submit questionnaires in multiple formats. Some businesses have reported a fivefold improvement in efficiency with automation! - Vendor Risk Management
With the rise of third-party data breaches, managing vendor risks has become increasingly important. However, traditional manual methods are time-consuming, often requiring 6.5 hours per week on average. Automation tools can quickly identify hidden IT resources (Shadow IT), automate risk assessments, and extract critical information from SOC 2 reports and questionnaires, significantly reducing workload. - Compliance Tasks
Compliance is not just a legal requirement but also a competitive advantage that builds trust with customers. Completing compliance audits, however, can take months. Automation simplifies evidence collection and continuous control monitoring, saving businesses up to five workweeks annually.
