Improved compliance and security
Zero-touch operations improve compliance and security by automating security measures, enforcing standardized configurations, and providing auditability. In this section, we’ll explain how it enhances compliance and security with clear examples, along with the associated risks and effort required for implementation and maintenance. I will also highlight the differences between traditional approaches and the zero-touch approach used in the examples.
Automated security configurations
Let’s look at this in more detail:
- Traditional approach:
- In the traditional approach, security configurations are often manually implemented, leading to inconsistencies and the potential for misconfigurations
- Manual configuration increases the risk of security vulnerabilities and makes it challenging to enforce standardized security measures
- Zero-touch approach:
- Zero-touch operations automate security configurations using tools such as Ansible...
