There are two truths to modern corporate security, the first is that the days of simply being “the guard at the gate,” are long gone, and the second, that today’s operational environments are so complex that we must step out of the traditional security silo to get the full picture of our organizational risk.
It is undeniable that the world of IT and the world of physical security are now inexorably linked. Cyber-physical security is here to stay and the cost of failing to manage it can be catastrophic. So much so, that in 2020 The US government’s Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency specifically identified, and outlined a plan for, implementing convergence for managing and protecting critical infrastructure. Now, whether you or your organization supports a formalized version of convergence is up to you. Every organization is different and its culture, operational environment, and marketplace, for example, will dictate a unique security and risk management strategy. However, what cannot be avoided is that for your strategy to be successful, strong collaboration and communication throughout your organization is essential.
At TeamMacro, we are uniquely aware of the difficulties that come with managing disparate teams and we have proven we know how to handle it. Whether your security team is all in one place, or geographically (or organizationally) spread out, we can make sure your incident management remains cohesive and collaborative. Our security and risk incident management system has a strong focus on accountability backed up with an alerting system that makes sure the right people see the right information at the right time. We make sure that the right incident information gets to the right person – whether that incident is IT related, health and safety, a GDPR breach, or a more traditional event like a break-in or theft. We do all this while maintaining the integrity of your incident data. Your incident evidence files should never be seen by the wrong eyes, and we make sure of that.
We must empower our view of organizational threat through collaboration. If you don't know what's going on you can't manage it. Failing to do so allows risks to fall through organizational gaps and offers opportunities for bad actors to take advantage. I believe that TeamMacro can help you do this, no matter how you structure your organization and whatever your security strategy may be.
