To more effectively reduce risk and capitalize on the capabilities, intelligence and experience of both the corporate application security team and the product security team, John Scimone, Dell Technologies Chief Security Officer, recommends converging these programs. Once converged, the security organization will see immediate benefits. Here, Scimone explores why organizations should converge these teams and the benefits.
Implementing a converged security organization is perhaps one of the most resourceful and beneficial business decisions an organization can make when seeking to enhance security risk management. In this era of heightened consequences and sophisticated security threats, the need for integration between siloed security and risk management teams is imperative. The need for collaboration between those two teams and the business is equally imperative. Let’s look at five more specific benefits:
We spoke to John Scimone, Dell’s Chief Security Officer, who runs a converged organization, combining physical and cybersecurity, about how he has personally navigated a culture of convergence and digital transformation at Dell.
Our personal and business lives have been forever transformed to the digital age, and has significantly and forever redefined business risk. But it also creates entirely new business opportunities that demand responsive business models.
The pace of change in cybersecurity is quickening as technologies like 5G and artificial intelligence enable new services, products and modes of communication.
Businesses commonly divide their security teams into two silos: physical and cyber/IT, with industrial organizations even dividing their teams across three: physical, operational (OT) and cyber/IT.
