When we talk to Network Managers around the world and ask them what is the number 1 priority for your team this year we are hearing more and more the answer being “security”.
This is a little bit of a departure from previous years when the most common responses were “Ensuring uptime”, “Reducing MTTR” and “Deploying new services”. This may be because in the past security was mostly considered to be the domain of the server and application teams and/or a specialized security team.
However, with the multitude of known (and unknown) attackers out there, security really must become a cross-team discipline with everyone being involved to a degree in ensuring the integrity of the IT estate.
