Do you love SecOps in theory, but just can't seem to make it work in practice? Or, maybe you've already implemented a security operations strategy to some degree within your organization, but struggle to make IT operations and security jive as seamlessly as you would like? Either way, there's a good chance that your troubles stem from one or more of the common barriers to SecOps strategies. This article explains why businesses often fail at implementing SecOps successfully and how they can work around the roadblocks.
We have built a Security Operations Center at Netskope in short order. Facing the vast expanse of the Security Operations ocean, I grabbed my board with my team and focused on doing a few things really well. We documented workflows, expanded our visibility, and tuned monitoring systems. We paddled out from shore, braving the shark-infested waters of the threat landscape.
For security teams, properly managing which users can access resources and governing the level of access those users have is about as basic as locking the door at night. Understandably then, there are thousands of options available to fine-tune or revoke access, and it’s likely that issues come up daily for most companies—if not hourly.
SecOps is a short form for Security Operations, a methodology that aims to automate crucial security tasks, with the goal of developing more secure applications. The purpose of SecOps is to minimize security risks during the development process and daily activities. Under a joint SecOps strategy, the security and operations teams work together to maintain a safe environment by identifying and resolving vulnerabilities and resolving any security issues.
Today we’re excited to announce our new podcast – 'The Future of Security Operations.' Our first episode is with MongoDB’s CISO Lena Smart, and every other week from now on, we’ll have a new episode with another expert. I wanted to take a few minutes to explain why we’re launching this podcast and what you can expect to gain from listening.
