University of Florida’s security team has been operationalizing things without even knowing there was a snazzy term for it. Operationalization is the act of taking repetitive activity, often a daily task, and automating it. It can also involve refining a security process to such a well-defined, step-by-step task that daily operations staff can take it over, leaving the security team to focus on higher priority items. Security products are out there that help automate security processes and reduce the burden of those tasks.”]
