We need more innovation around reducing tool complexity so that on-premises environments can work seamlessly with cloud, mobile and internet-of-things environments.
enterprise resource planning systems or storage — there has been some level of standardization. However, we have not yet achieved integration and interoperability around security, which is arguably the most fractured segment of IT. It is also the one that requires advanced integration because complexity is the enemy of a good security posture.
At Symantec, we have brought together
a community of over 150 companies
to drive interoperability and ultimately achieve some level of automation in the cybersecurity realm through our Integrated Cyber Defense Platform, which is an open- standards-based interoperability fabric for our products, services and partners.
The government could help us facilitate that work by holding industry accountable as a community to do a better job of
working with one another and with the government to break down barriers so that we can communicate more effectively. That way, we can all work toward the common goal of simplifying the monumental task facing the government’s security teams and ultimately protect agency networks.
