Join #AnsibleAutomates2022 to rethink your business in all senses, using IT automation.
The decision to make a change most often requires a catalyst or a compelling event. Sometimes that impetus is industry specific or the increased use of multiple cloud services within your organization. Sometimes it’s a catastrophic outage, which leads to a loss in revenue. Other times, it’s a global shift in how companies manage their business, including the need to accommodate flexible work arrangements without warning. IT automation can help organizations do more with less, while scaling.

Hardening Windows endpoints: Compliance automation with Ansible
The compliance world can be unforgiving. The steps involved to fully harden an endpoint can be in the thousands, and many are deeply technical. Manual processes to implement these compliance controls are subject to human error, and in light of their quantity and difficulty, often time-consuming. Those who are already familiar with and who use compliance controls have many reasons for doing so. We will discuss some of the reasons to implement these types of controls before moving on to the automation of implementing them. Examples will highlight the benefits for administrators who do the implementation on the ground, as well as the benefits for auditors who are responsible for assessing the level of risk an information system introduces.
