#137: Automation - the auditability side-effect

I've talked many times about the productivity benefits from automation.

In this episode, I talk about the auditability benefits we get from automation - something you could describe as a side-effect.

I discuss:

  • Why having audit data is helpful to our organisations
  • How automation can help to provide that audit data
  • How automation can remove a whole class of questions over manual access to production environments
  • How automation can improve on the overly bureaucratic, and often harmful, Change Advisory Boards found in many organisations
  • And how your auditor can not only help, but will likely to be keen to do so
