Security Automation Working Group

The Security Automation Working Group collaborates on Topics in Information Security Automation in Ansible.

Ansible can be the automation glue between disjoint systems and security appliances that have little to no integrations. Security Operators can utilize Ansible to be more productive, adapt to the growing demand of the modern IT landscape, ensure consistency in their IT environments, and respond to security incidents faster. Beyond that, Ansible can be utilized for automated implementation of security standards, systems hardening, and compliance. Our goal here is to help foster a cross discipline and cross functional collaborative community of Information Security Professionals through the power of automation via Ansible.

Meetings

If you want to bring up an issue, a review-request or a PR to discuss on the meeting, just put it on the meeting agenda.

We have weekly meetings on Mondays at 15:00 UTC in the #ansible-security Libera chat.

Meetings are managed and logged by meetbot, we use the Fedora Project møte: meeting wrangler. Meeting minutes and logs are available by channel or by team. For community members interested in how to use meetbot or how to host an effective meeting, please consult this guide.

You can find the general Ansible roadmaps at Ansible Roadmaps.

Contact

We exist within the Ansible Community and therefore use all typical outlets you would expect us to. However, we do have our own #ansible-security Libera chat as our discussions would often be off-topic for other channels.
