Breaking Silos Between Engineering, Security, and Compliance
Transcript
You’ve worked with a lot of product security teams across Europe and globally. What kinds of silos do you typically see between engineering, security, and legal/compliance teams?
Okay. So the silos that I typically see in most organizations that I've worked with over many years of working in kind of cybersecurity, is basically engineering versus security and then versus compliance teams.
All of those different sets of of sections within the business, they all have different priorities. They all have different languages.
Engineering wants to ship out fast.
Security wants to make sure that they've managed the risk, The legal section wants to make sure that compliance and everything is documented.
Everybody is working towards the same outcomes but because of the silos that they have, their tools, their data, their terminology, it it it really lines up.
