N1 - The exploratory qualitative study used semi-structured interviews to collect information from 10 participants with at least 1 year of cybersecurity experience in the United States financial sector who have implemented or are implementing security automation. Data were analyzed using an iterative open-coding process. The following six themes emerged: (a) use of automation in security operations, (b) benefits of security automation, (c) requirements for successful security automation, (d) use of intelligence sharing in security operations, (e) minimal use of deception and automated response, and (f) impediments to effective intelligence sharing. The key findings suggest there are many use cases for security automation from which the financial sector can derive significant benefits. Financial institutions actively participate in intelligence sharing; however, several impediments to effective intelligence sharing exist. The findings also indicate that the use of deception and automated response may not be prevalent within the financial sector; however, a strong interest exists in the future use of deception and automated response methods
