Episode Synopsis


In this episode of Automox's CISO IT Podcast, host Jason Kikta returns from Black Hat and DEF CON in Las Vegas to discuss one of the most talked-about IT events of the summer, and what it truly reveals about automation in IT. Contrary to popular fearmongering, Jason argues that the incident isn’t a cautionary tale against automation but a clear call for more thoughtful automation.Jason breaks down why automation, when paired with rigorous testing and strategic controls, is critical to modern IT and cybersecurity success. He challenges listeners to rethink what IT efficiency really means—not job cuts, but freeing teams to tackle the backlog and do more meaningful work. He wraps with a personal challenge: find and automate one tedious task this week using tools like Automox, Okta workflows, or your own scripts.This episode originally aired September 12, 2024
