The CISO needs to make sure that process
disconnect doesn’t impact the delivery of
effective security.
Which is why it’s so important for
security to be seen as ‘The Department
of Yes’.
If they are known as a driving force
behind ensuring the success of any
innovation, then they will improve their
position within their organisation and be
able to influence future transformation
strategies.
Becoming ‘The Department
of Yes’
The first step towards becoming
‘The Department of Yes’ is deeply
rooted in gaining complete and
continuous network visibility to allow for
aggregation of all relevant data needed
to effectively model the network. From

ability to adapt to changes as and when
they come.
On top of this, the CISO needs to
have a context-rich understanding of
their security environment. They need
analytics which gives them insight into
potential risks and their compliance
status at all times.
Finally, they need to ensure they are
making the most efficient use of their
existing resources. The best way to
do this is by introducing intelligent
automation that will save them time
and money as well as improving the
outcome of processes and freeing up
teams so that they can focus on more
strategic tasks.
To shed its negative reputation, security
departments need to stop operating
on the back foot. When they know that
they’re in control of their entire hybrid
estate, they’re in a much better position
to be able to say ‘yes’ and welcome
innovation with open arms.
