Breaking Down Silos Between It And Security Teams
Information Age, Tuesday, May 13th, 2025
Mike Arrowsmith explains the benefits of breaking down the barriers between your organisation's IT and security teams
Over the last decade, the complexity of IT ecosystems and sophistication of cyber threats have escalated to new heights. This evolution has intensified the need for IT and security teams to collaborate and partner closely.
Historically, these two functions sat separately, sharing information only when required. However, the rapid adoption of diverse devices and operating systems, often referred to as 'tech sprawl', has left organisations struggling with complex, fragmented IT environments, significantly increasing the risk of security vulnerabilities and cyberattacks. As a result, keeping IT and security teams separate is no longer viable, and risks data breaches and system failures.
