Do you find regulatory bodies trying to govern security automation?
Torre: Regulators first frowned at our automated policy compliance, but finally understood the benefit. We bought Elemental Security's Elemental Compliance System, which correlates our policies to various regulatory controls like ISO 1799. Initially, they said, 'What's the benefit to that?' I said, 'Well, let me ask you, how do you know that we're complying with the guidelines that you're setting? We give you a stack of papers to look at, but how do you actually know that that is meeting your requirements?' So now reviews go a lot faster.
