S4E3: Dr. Nikki Robinson - Bridging the Gap with IT and Security

Resilient Cyber

- Can you tell us a bit about the book, what made you want to write it and how you settled on this topic?
- Historically IT and Security have been at odds, often feeling like the other party is conflicting with their goals and responsibilities. Why do you think this is?
- Do you think the push for DevSecOps and breaking down silos between Security and Operations (and Development) has helped at all?
- Your book talks about emotional intelligence, empathy and non-technical traits. How critical do you think those are in this situation and why do they not get discussed enough?
- What methods do you think IT and Security teams can take to improve their relationships and drive towards a unified outlook and goals?
- What do you see as the biggest gaps on this topic as we move into the future?
