Security News > 2021 > June > 73% of enterprises suffer security and compliance issues due to internal misalignment

According to Enterprise Management Associates and BlueCat's recently published research report, nearly 3 in 4 enterprises have suffered security or compliance issues in the past year as a direct result of collaboration challenges between the cloud and networking teams.

The research, based on a survey of 212 networking and cloud professionals, found that the consequences of dysfunction between these teams extend far past the security realm.

Misalignment between the network and cloud teams looks very similar to the historic disconnect that the network and security groups have been working to overcome: they're separate groups, led by different leaders, who have distinct goals.

As a security leader, involving yourself in discussions between your cloud and networking peers may help establish some of the right process up-front, which is needed to support your programs and reduce risk as well.

Ultimately, successful cloud adoption, from a business, operations, and security perspective, requires strong alignment between the diverse group of professionals who truly understand the network's requirements.

While the research focused specifically on the relationship between cloud and networking teams, the security leader's role here is evident.
