IT, Security Teams Must Work Together

Brian Spanswick, Cohesity‘s CISO, said he wouldn’t be surprised if cybercriminals have July 4th circled on their calendars.

“As we approach this holiday weekend, it’s a great reminder that IT and security leaders must work together to safeguard customer and employee data, and have a data security strategy in place that’s not only focused on prevention, but also on protection, detection and recovery,” he said. “Our recent research shows that collaboration between IT and security teams is often subpar. More than 80% of IT and SecOps decision makers agree their organizations would be better prepared to recover from cyber threats, including ransomware attacks, if these groups collaborated more closely. So, to keep bad actors at bay and help ensure business continuity, including during and after the Independence Day holiday, now is the time to optimize collaboration and prioritize next-gen data management that’s in line with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.”
