During a security operations review, a team lead proposes automating routine incident-ticket creation and baseline-enforcement scripts. The chief information security officer asks what primary benefit this automation will bring to day-to-day security workflows. Which of the following benefits best addresses the CISO's question?
Reduction of complexity
Standardized risk spread throughout the organization
Efficiency/time saving is considered a primary benefit of automation in security operations because repetitive tasks execute much faster and with fewer errors, allowing staff to focus on higher-value investigative work. Complexity is actually an implementation challenge, cost savings are possible but not guaranteed once tooling and maintenance are included, and automation does not inherently distribute risk across the organization.
