The Business Value of ServiceNow SecOps

The increasing volume of stolen credentials, phishing attempts, cloud misconfiguration, ransomware, cyber-attacks, data breaches, and other threats has made the path to cybersecurity fraught with challenges like siloed data, vulnerabilities, and manual processes.

That said, organizations are drowning in security debt, and it is high time to address broken workflows with a fresh approach: SecOps (Security Operations).

Good security hygiene requires ongoing effort, but workflows, automation, and a unified platform for managing assets, vulnerabilities and risks make the process easier.?ServiceNow take the burden off and frees up 8,700 hours annually. Following are some ServiceNow SecOps capabilities that can help your business thrive:
