Breaking Down Exposure Management Silos: Confronting the Network-Security Disconnect
Security and network teams silos create operational and security challenges. Organizations need a unified approach to network and security management.
The research shows:
- Leaders acknowledge that silos exist between network and security teams.
- Although processes are in place, confidence is still not high.
- Most organizations worry that a lack of collaboration will lead to a security incident.
- Despite team silos and working in separate systems, there is a strong desire to change.
In most organizations, the network and security teams have a lot of responsibility, many which can have a direct effect on the company’s security. But working under different management, and using disparate systems, they often work on separate priorities.
