IDG polled 200 network and cybersecurity professionals across the U.S. & Canada, and found almost inevitable consequences for organizations where network and cybersecurity teams have conflicting objectives, are managed in a siloed way, and have unequal or incomplete network visibility.

86% of respondents admitted to experiencing at least one of the following due to a lack of close collaboration:

• Increase in security breaches and/or data loss
• Slow response to security events
• Finger pointing/blame game
• Loss of productivity
• Service downtime
• Inability to determine root cause of security events
• Cost increases.
