What Is Network Security Workflow Automation?
NEW! Solve Real Problems and Improve Efficiency with Network Security Automation Integration Developed by Braxton-Grant
The critical skill shortage of cybersecurity professionals today requires the development of new processes to make existing cybersecurity teams more efficient.

Using an unprecedented approach developed by Braxton-Grant, common security tasks can be automated to be accomplished during normal business hours or on a custom schedule.
Braxton-Grant Technologies curated a groundbreaking integration capability solution between CA Automic Automation and API capable network security products. Our cyber engineers leverage certified knowledge and the open API offered by a variety of vendor cybersecurity tools to bring Workflow Automation to cybersecurity that has never been seen before. We can now expand workflow automation across any security tool with a RESTful API capability.
Examples of Automated Network Security Policy Tasks:
