In this Edge Field Day Delegate Ignite Talk, Brian Knudtson discussed the communication challenges between IT and security teams in businesses. Typically, IT focuses on maintaining efficient information flow, while security prioritizes data protection and preventing breaches, often leading to the misperception of the security team as a “Department of No.” To foster effective collaboration, both teams must gain a better understanding of each other’s roles. Collaboration between security and businesses is crucial for enabling and supporting business objectives and secure data use. Backup infrastructure plays a pivotal role in data cataloging, protection, and threat detection, aiding in disaster recovery and digital forensics. Knudtson emphasized the need for aligning communication and actions between IT and security teams and adapting to emerging trends like entropy detection for compromise indicators. Customized backup integration with security workflows and proactive measures such as diverse backup policies were also highlighted as essential components of successful collaboration in safeguarding the organization.
