SecOps From The It Infrastructure Operations Perspective
Search IT Operations, Friday, October 11th, 2024
The CrowdStrike outage capped a decade of deepening divide between SecOps and the rest of IT ops -- and should bring about its end, according to one industry veteran.
The CrowdStrike incident should be a sign that it's time for SecOps and IT infrastructure operations teams to cooperate on more resilient ways to operate IT security tools, according to one industry veteran.
As with other guests who have appeared on IT Ops Query Season 2: The State of SecOps, Rich Lane, IT director for the City of Medford, Mass., has seen a widening rift between the two subdisciplines over the last 10 years during his varied career in tech. He previously served as vice president of digital operations strategy for data security software vendor Netenrich from 2021 to 2022 and as a Forrester Research analyst from 2018 to 2021. Before that, Lane worked as a professional services consultant for observability vendor Splunk and as IT infrastructure and operations manager at Bain Capital.
