Security automation with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform
Overview
Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform uses playbooks, local directory services, consolidated logs, and external apps to integrate IT security teams and automate their security solutions—investigating and responding to threats in a coordinated, unified way.
Features and benefits
Investigation enrichment
Collect logs across firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and other security systems programmatically, providing more diverse data to triage activities performed through security information and event management (SIEM) systems.
Threat hunting
Detect more threats in less time by automatically configuring enterprise firewalls to send events and logs to a central database, where security analysts can correlate data and determine how to respond.
Incident response
Collect and analyze historical security events from a wide variety of event and contextual data sources; and respond to new threats faster by automating blacklists, whitelists, and suspicious workloads.
Common language for translation
Give your triage systems more information by collecting logs across firewalls, IDS, and endpoint protection platforms.
Privileged access management
Streamline the rotation and management of privileged credentials to automate the prevention and remediation of high-risk activities.
Team integration
Chain workflows for modular reusability, support local directory services and access controls, and integrate external apps using application programming interfaces.
