Episode 27 – Security and Systems Management Convergence Part I: The Balancing Act
Amrit Williams, CTO of BigFix, Inc. and Scott Crawford, Managing Research Director of Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), begin a two part discussion on security and system management convergence by looking at what keeps the two disciplines siloed from each other although both sides recognize the benefits of seamless collaboration. In particular, Crawford has identified a balancing act between the understanding that disciplined, proactive approaches to system management result in strengthened immunity from security incidents at the potential cost of reducing responsiveness to incidents that do inevitably occur.
