The adoption of automation for IT security functions is on the rise across the US, UK and APAC, the latest DomainTools/Ponemon report has shown.

The report, which is based on answers from over 1,400 IT and IT security practitioners who participate in attracting, hiring, promoting and retaining IT security personnel within their companies, says that the US is embracing automation at a faster pace than in other areas, with 79 percent of respondents saying they already use automation, or are planning to in the next three years.
