The mountain of human error that IT teams are continuously managing is unsustainable. As threats continue to rise, there will be less and less time to fix errors manually and an insurmountable security debt, exposing organisations to significant risk with the threat of both financial and reputational damage.
By not proactively implementing processes and technologies to reduce rates of human error, IT teams are not only wasting resources, but they are also leaving themselves more vulnerable to attacks.
Automation plays a key role in reducing human error, remediating vulnerabilities in a timely manner and reducing overall security risk.
Too much time spent fixing human errors can take critical resources away from completing strategic work and impact an organisation’s overall productivity. Unfortunately, this is what’s happening in IT teams across Australia, with many spending the equivalent of an entire month fixing human errors. This is a massive drain on productivity that could see other areas of the business neglected.
Low morale and low employee satisfaction can quickly lead to poor company culture, high staff turnover, and significant impacts on a business’s bottom line.
Importantly for IT teams, the cost of burnout is not just an HR issue. It’s a security issue, too.
In many scenarios, automation could replace tedious, manual tasks as well as reduce time spent working outside of normal office hours, resulting in an overall happier, more fulfilled and productive workforce.
