How will you streamline your Secure Web Gateway and save a ton of time? Check more about the benefits of automating repetitive tasks and allowing you to focus on higher-value activities.
Streamline Your Secure Web Gateway
Secure Web Gateway is critical for any organization, especially if you provide services to the public. To keep up with the demands of security and compliance, many organizations are leveraging automation to streamline their Secure Web Gateway. Automation can reduce error-prone tasks and allow you to focus on higher-value activities.
By automating repetitive tasks, you can:
1. Reduce costs by not hiring additional staff
2. Reduce the amount of time spent on non-value added activities
3. Allow your Secure Web Gateway to scale up or down with ease
4. Ensure consistency in your Secure Web Gateway policies
5. Improve the visibility into your Secure Web Gateway operations
6. Reduce human error in your Secure Web Gateway operations
Utilize the Right Technology
Automation solutions such as Orchestrator allow you to automate repetitive tasks. Orchestrator is a single platform that provides an API for integrating with VMware products and third-party solutions. Also, Orchestrator can be used to build workflows based on events from other products like VMware vCenter Server, vCloud Director, and NSX Manager.
You can then use this workflow as an action in another product like vRealize Orchestrator or vSphere Web Client. This allows for a consistent user experience across multiple VMware products. By leveraging Orchestrator, you can automate various tasks from virtual machine provisioning.
So, content library creation and network topology creation through monitoring of your environment’s health status. You can also integrate Orchestrator with solutions like ServiceNow, Business Activity Monitoring (BAM), Auto Deploy, and more. This allows you to create highly complex workflows that are integrated with other systems and applications within your organization.
Automate Your Management Operations
Managing user accounts within the Active Directory module of your Secure Web Gateway can be a time-consuming task. It requires you to go back and forth between the Active Directory module and multiple other applications. You can use the Active Directory module of your Secure Web Gateway to create user accounts on the fly.
You can then use the Active Directory module to update existing user accounts and move them to another OU. Also, you can even delete user accounts within the Active Directory module of your Secure Web Gateway. By automating these tasks, you can reduce the amount of time you spend on manual tasks.
Automate Your Reporting Capabilities
Many organizations find that reporting is one of their least favorite tasks, especially when it comes to their Secure Web Gateways. There are many different reports available from various web application firewalls. It provides information such as authentication failures, session failures, historical data, and more.
The problem with these reports is that they often require someone to go in and clean up the data. Also, make sure all the information is there before it can be used. By automating these reports, you can ensure that all your data is there without having to spend any time cleaning up or adjusting the data in any way.
