We delve into a critical flaw that continues to persist within many organizations—the subservience of cybersecurity teams to their overarching IT counterparts. Join us as we unpack the challenges stemming from this hierarchy and explore the urgent need for a transformative shift.

🔒 Subordination No More: It's disheartening to witness security teams relegated to a subordinate role within IT departments. The pervasive 'can we' versus 'should we' dilemma underscores a bigger issue that hampers our collective progress.

💡 Empowerment Through Equality: The time has come to challenge the norm. We discuss real-world scenarios where security is an afterthought, leaving experts to pick up the pieces. As technology advances, security must be a guiding principle from the outset.

🌐 Navigating Cloud Confusion: The rise of cloud resources has only exacerbated the problem. 'Can we add' instead of 'should we add' raises concerns about reactive security strategies. Let's break this cycle and put security at the forefront of technological evolution.

🚀 A Call for Change: Our discussion transcends critique, focusing on actionable solutions. It's time to champion security as an equal partner, not just an appendage. Learn how fostering collaboration can proactively mitigate risks and drive innovation.

🔐 Taking Charge: If you're part of a security team, an IT department, or simply concerned about digital resilience, this video is for you. We dissect the challenges, share insights, and inspire a collective push for change.

Join us in reshaping the narrative around security and IT collaboration. Like, share, and subscribe to fuel the conversation for a safer digital landscape. The transformation begins with us. 💪🔗
