8 Ways IBN Creates Job Security, Not Threats

Intent-based networking powers automated network configuration and management through machine learning. While many IT professionals are jumping to conclusions about network automation endangering their jobs, IBN does quite the opposite.

Automated networking takes over the time-intensive manual configurations that weigh teams down, allowing them to do their jobs more effectively. Here are the top eight ways IBN acts as a team player, empowering employees with top-notch technology while improving network functionality and security.

Reliable Compliance

IBN automatically ensures compliance, autonomously detecting and reacting to non-compliant activity in real-time to avoid violations. IT teams can work at full capacity without manually checking for compliance.

Easy Network Configuration

With IBN, IT teams need simply define the configuration they want and the network will provision it autonomously, allowing teams to easily customize the network to the business’s needs.

User-Based Permissions

IBN enables IT professionals to set security parameters by employee rather than device. Teams can set permissions by department, provision new users and customize access for certain employees or groups without dealing with manual configurations.

Automated Network Documentation

Instead of manually documenting network activity (and often letting it fall behind more pressing tasks), the network documents itself automatically.

Disaster Preparation and Recovery

Teams can configure custom, reliable backup and recovery plans that automatically kick in as soon as an outage hits, minimizing and often eliminating damage and losses.

Lower Operation and Security Costs

Improved efficiency and higher security reduce network management costs, allowing businesses to reallocate those expenses to IT personnel and resources.

Reliable Compliance

IBN automatically ensures compliance, autonomously detecting and reacting to non-compliant activity in real-time to avoid violations.
