Presented by Rohit Tandon • Deputy CISO, State of Minnesota
Security teams are over worked and have long lead times for work submitted to provide security guidance. No matter how hard the security team works, they continue to stay buried under a mountain of work. The team is a victim of its own success: the better work they do, the more demand there is for their time. This magnifies the problem by negatively impacting lead time and potentially could reduce the quality. Rohit will discuss how you can supersize your security team within your organization on the same budget. The approach will help your small and underfunded security teams avoid burnout and achieve the mission of securing the organization.
