How to win friends and influence your security team
Security teams and the rest of IT haven’t always been the best of friends or worked together too well. With new technologies and methodologies the pace of change in an IT environment has accelerated exponentially and so the need for security to integrate with the rest of the IT org in a closer and frictionless fashion is more important than ever. But how can you help this process?
In this session we’ll take a lighthearted look at the history of security vs. the rest of the IT org and share some practical tips and tricks to help us all work better together, as security is a team sport after all. Primarily targeted at devs and security teams but relevant for anyone working in IT.
