Often, the issues of resiliency and security are treated as completely separate functions, and their potential interactions not considered. Rather than keeping these fields isolated from each other, organizations can consider how to blend them together, gaining benefits in their combined implementations. Writing for Security Magazine, John Scimone, Sr. Vice President and Chief Security Officer for Dell Technologies, offers a discussion of some of the key benefits of the merging of these functions, including:
- Greater prioritization of security resources, by identifying key areas where resiliency is most required
- Integration of security into the business processes at an earlier phase of development
- Allowing for greater understanding between security and crisis management teams
- Granting greater influence for disaster recovery processes in technology driven organizations
With external pressure from both hackers and natural disasters rapidly growing, this sharing of roles can help add greatly needed robustness and allow for more efficient use of often limited resources of organizations seeking to keep up with emerging threats.
