Netskope revealed a research showing a significant breakdown in collaboration between two of the central components of the IT team: networking and security.

While 49% of security teams and 44% of networking teams report to the same manager, 37% of global IT professionals state that 'the security and networking teams don't really work together much'.

Even more concerning, 44% of network and 45% of security professionals describe the relationship between the two teams as 'combative', 'dysfunctional', 'frosty' or 'irrelevant'.

Sixty two percent of these projects involve both networking and security transformation, and 60% have a sponsor within both networking and security teams.

Additional findings highlighted the role that security should play within the networking teams.

"The evident divide between networking and security teams has been an issue for some time, but has been even more amplified with the rapid acceleration to remote work," said Mike Anderson, CDO & CIO at Netskope.
