Accelerate Your Security Response with Ansible Automation Platform Hands-On Workshop

Thursday, 10 September 2026 | 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Red Hat Office | North Sydney | Australia

OVERVIEW

AI is surfacing thousands of vulnerabilities overnight. Your teams still need to respond. This workshop shows you how Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) helps streamline, standardise, and scale your security response — so your organisation can act faster, more consistently, and with full confidence across the entire estate.

 

This workshop puts you in the operator's seat. Starting from a simulated (Real Life) AI-curated vulnerability advisory, you'll use Ansible Automation Platform to build the standardised, governed workflows that allow your teams to respond to security findings rapidly and consistently — across OS layers, application stacks, and security baselines
