Security Operations (SecOps) is where IT operations and IT security come together. It is one of those few places in the organisation where common interests rise above vested interests for the common good. At least, that’s the theory.
SecOps’ main goal is to improve the security posture of the organisation by identifying, preventing and mitigating threats at the point of entry. The byproducts of an efficient and effective SecOps function are improved operational efficiency, enhanced compliance, and better incident response.
Nick Lim, VP of APAC for Tanium, says SecOps efficiency remains hampered (at least in many large organisations) by security and operations teams prioritising their issues using their independent tools. “This creates a mismatch between departments and the types of solutions when solving cross-departmental issues,” he continues.
“This is a big hurdle that stands in the way of SecOps efficiency, and ultimately a platform approach can help to alleviate this issue by providing departments with a unified tool, overcoming any mismatch and ensuring the most efficient approach.”
