when you have the entire organization aligned
around securing the business application,
that's when things work as they should.
but typically, lacking that visibility,
not being able to see the business apps,
is what I see a lot of today in organizations.
And this is where the major gap is between the executives,
who are held accountable for delivering on business outcomes -
whether that's revenue growth, market share, operational efficiency -
and the security teams, who are making sure that all that
happens within the guardrails set by the organization.
And the winning organizations are those that
are able to do that together:
To bring application-centric point of view
to the security as well,
and bring those together, that the business
can move fast but stay within the guardrails
and stay secure.
In order to make this happen, organizations
need to be able to talk in the language
of the business applications,
which is what they do.
But the security teams need to also be able
to talk and manage in that same
application-centric point of view.
So if you can see the applications and the
way they operate then you can protect them.
You can understand the risks at the application level
and you can understand the compliance at the application level.
And that opens a much freer, more accurate dialogue
between the security teams and the business owners
allowing the business owners and the app development
teams to move fast
and the security teams to be able to deliver service
while not compromising on security
And that's really where we need to get organizations today.
