eport to the CISO. <strong>The</strong> key to making this work lies in how the CISO perceives their role. Instead of<br />
viewing themselves solely as security professionals operating at the executive level, they must embrace<br />
the mindset of a business executive focused on enabling the business to achieve its core objectives<br />
without taking on unnecessary risk.<br />
This change in perspective enables the CISO to advocate <strong>for</strong> security from a unified standpoint. By<br />
bridging the gap between IT, Engineering, and Security, the CISO can promote a culture of quality<br />
throughout your organization, ensuring security considerations are integrated across corporate<br />
processes and in every stage of the product development lifecycle. This strategy helps encourage better<br />
collaboration between teams, reduces redundancies and associated costs, and enhances your<br />
company’s overall security effectiveness.<br />
Overcoming Challenges with Relationships<br />
While the benefits of unifying IT and Security under the CISO are clear, challenges can arise when an<br />
organization attempts to bring diverse teams together. Resistance to change, hesitation, and the need to<br />
incorporate external talent can all pose difficulties. Clearing the runway of these organizational hurdles<br />
requires a strategic—and empathetic—approach.<br />
Building relationships is vital. Fundamental steps that need to be taken include:<br />
• Encouraging open communication channels and fostering a culture of trust to overcome<br />
resistance and hesitation<br />
• Establishing <strong>for</strong>ums <strong>for</strong> cross-functional collaboration, such as regular meetings and joint projects,<br />
to help create shared goals and build stronger relationships between teams<br />
It is crucial to emphasize that the goal is not to undermine existing roles but rather to leverage the<br />
collective expertise to enhance the company’s security.<br />
Additionally, you must strike a careful balance when integrating external talent. While fresh perspectives<br />
and specialized skills can bring immense value–and are frequently a necessary component of<br />
organizational trans<strong>for</strong>mation–you must be able to integrate these seamlessly into the existing team<br />
structure. Your organization can create an inclusive culture that values diverse contributions by providing<br />
mentorship, clearly defining roles and responsibilities, and actively promoting a growth-oriented<br />
environment.<br />
Structuring Teams <strong>for</strong> Optimal Results<br />
Once IT and Security are united under a CISO's leadership, it’s essential to structure your teams in a<br />
way that maximizes their potential. Crucial aspects of this process include adjusting role definitions and<br />
creating growth opportunities.<br />
For example, revisiting role definitions is necessary to ensure that your people are assigned to the right<br />
roles based on their skill sets and expertise. Redefine your job descriptions to achieve alignment,<br />
