Abstract
Network security policy automation enables enterprise security teams to keep pace with increasingly dynamic changes in on-premises and public/hybrid cloud environments. This chapter discusses the most common use cases for policy automation in the enterprise, and new automation methodologies to address them by taking the reader step-by-step through sample use cases. It also looks into how emerging automation solutions are using big data, artificial intelligence, and machine learning technologies to further accelerate network security policy automation and improve application and network security in the process.
