Automation has now crossed a very clear threshold in network security. Automation used to be something to strive for – to “get right” – but now it’s an operational baseline, embedded into the day-to-day functioning of every modern network environment. Tasks that once stole hours from network security teams, like policy enforcement, risk analysis, and change validation, are now executed consistently and at scale, lowering the burden on human teams and freeing them up to deal with the things that really need their attention.

Digital twins are moving beyond simulation to play a more active role in automated manufacturing, improving uptime, throughput and process stability on the factory floor. They are now embedded in real-time control systems, shaping how machines respond and adapt, writes Ross Turnbull, Director of Business Development at Swindon Silicon Systems.
