Security News > 2022 > April > Should security teams be giving service with a smile?

As security professionals, we aren't known for our levity.

Why do many employees dislike their colleagues in the cybersecurity function? Because the first and often only experience of interacting with security is being told they're doing something wrong, and that it will take extra work to resolve.

Part of the problem stems from the fact that security is operating some way behind the rest of the organisation.

The days of monolithic projects put in front of security for sign-off are numbered.

Security teams will work hard to understand how security can make a positive contribution to what the business is trying to achieve, that goes above and beyond "Safe and secure".

They'll become more like internal salespeople or security evangelists than auditors.
