Breaking down silos in cybersecurity

All organizations erect silos – silos between groups and departments, across functions and among technologies. Silos represent differences in practices, culture and operations. Their presence inhibits communication and collaboration. As companies scale from startup to mid-sized and beyond, silos multiply and ossify. As operations expand from one site to many, from on-premises to cloud, from legacy to emerging tech (e.g., cloud and AI), silos don’t topple; they persist and proliferate. Nowhere are silos more evident … More → The post Breaking down silos in cybersecurity appeared first on Help Net Security.
