Eighty-six percent of IT organizations are now experiencing an increase in collaboration between their network and security teams. These two groups have traditionally maintained adversarial relationships partially because their missions fundamentally conflict with each other. Network teams focus on providing high-performance connectivity to people, applications, and data. Security teams focus on authenticating, authorizing, and monitoring those connections, which can sometimes hinder accessibility and performance. So why are these teams coming together now? And how can they do it effectively? 

Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) research has been tracking this emerging trend for several years and has identified several drivers of collaboration, such as cloud migration and secure access service edge (SASE) adoption. Moreover, EMA has identified network observability as a foundational component of successful NetSecOps collaboration. 

Join EMA VP of Research Shamus McGillicuddy and LiveAction Software Senior Sales Engineer Daniel Smallwood for a webinar with Q&A that will cover the following topics:

• Why and how these teams are working together more than ever
• Best practices for building the right partnership between these teams
• How a powerful network observability solution can help overcome roadblocks to effective NetSecOps partnerships
