Still, his experience shows that data coming in from multiple missions, potentially with various classifications, can be challenging. &amp;nbsp; Combine that with varying kinds of reporting requirements, and you get a process that can overwhelm even the most experienced individuals. His recommendation is to consider a platform approach that can help normalize data, allowing it to be used in a meaningful way. &amp;nbsp; Matt Goodrich from Diligent expands on some of the benefits of automation. For example, you may have a shortage of talent that can be compensated for with an automated platform. Automation reduces human error and can speed up the time to report. &amp;nbsp; Goodrich makes a great point about summarizing information. The goal of reviewing logs for anomalies is not to create a report, but to increase speed to action.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Rather than arbitrarily selecting an automated system, Goodrich suggests looking for tools that can integrate with existing systems and align with compliance frameworks, such as FedRAMP and NIST CSF. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Feds At The Edge by FedInsider http://fedinsider.libsyn.com/website <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/38939030/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/38939030
