Meaning ● Automation Security Paradox, as it applies to SMBs seeking business growth, automation, and implementation, describes the inverse relationship that sometimes arises between increased automation and the robustness of a business’s security posture. The expectation that automating processes enhances security does not always hold true; poorly planned or inadequately secured automations can inadvertently widen the attack surface, creating new vulnerabilities for threat actors to exploit, directly impacting business continuity and creating data breaches. ● Implementing automation without a solid understanding of its security implications can introduce inefficiencies.
