Trust between these two teams is earned, not given. As such, leaders must create an environment for teams that sets them up for mutual success. CISOs can help by selecting well-integrated tools that foster collaboration and eliminate inefficiencies. By integrating security earlier into the development process, utilizing tools with shared workflows, and prioritizing required fixes based on risk to the business, leaders can align teams and build trust.
Developers won’t waste time patching code in irrelevant vulnerabilities, and security will be able to reduce the volume of alerts that bog them down. Together, they can prioritize work, reduce noise, and get products to market securely and efficiently.
