Convergence isn’t optional: The new mandate for IT and security
At a time when bad actors are weaponizing nearly 50 to 61 percent of newly disclosed vulnerabilities within 48 hours, modern organizations can no longer afford to let IT and security operate independently of one another.
Siloed security processes, which separate the identification, remediation, and reporting of vulnerabilities, create lag time that attackers can easily take advantage of.
We know change is already underway. As shared data sets become the norm, skill sets become increasingly aligned, and IT management platforms embrace workstreams that accommodate both IT and security needs, this persistent gap (one that’s long been a barrier to scaling resilience and a gate to operational efficiency) is beginning to close.
