Robust SecurityOps tool
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We were using ServiceNow Configuration Management Data Base (CMDB) and ticketing modules hence it was somewhat logical for us to have the ServiceNow Security Operations module to have seamless integration and consequently operational efficiency. In addition, I have built incident response automation playbooks using this module.
Pros
- Excellent integration with ticketing and CMDB module
- Ability to manage configuration changes to minimize security impact
- Can build incident response playbooks for scenarios
- Automation of workflows inside of security operations for escalations specifically
Cons
- Even though I mentioned that we built incident response playbooks, we found the learning curve to be steep, having drag and drop or something similar to this would be appreciated
Return on Investment
- Well controlled change control process management leading to fewer failures in production
- Reduction in the meantime to identify security issues leading to better resolution times
- Automation of incident response workflow/playbooks
