Lack of collaboration between teams leaves gaps for cybercriminals to exploit>

This is one of the findings of a new report from data management firm Cohesity which also shows that of those respondents who believe collaboration is weak between IT and security, nearly half think their organization is more exposed to cyber threats as a result.

Based on a survey of over 2,000 IT decision-makers and SecOps professionals in the US, UK and Australia, the report shows 43 percent of respondents say collaboration between the two groups has remained the same in light of increased cyberattacks. But eight percent of all respondents say collaboration has actually decreased, with IT decision-makers more likely to hold this view.

In addition 75 percent of respondents (69 percent of IT decision-makers and 82 percent of SecOps) believe that the skills shortage is having an impact.

44 percent of all respondents (45 percent of IT decision-makers and 43 percent of SecOps respondents) say greater communication and collaboration between IT and security is key. 83 percent of all respondents agree that if security and IT collaborated more closely, their organization would be better prepared to recover from cyber threats.
