“ The orchestration of tools and visibility across different technology stacks is extremely critical right now ”
— Daniel Liber , Head of information security , Playtech
122 users ’ IT needs to align in a new working model , but more than that , it is about changing attitudes .
“ Teams had a limited transformation state of mind . Now they know that every couple of years they will have to ask the question : what ’ s next ? Some were already doing that because of previous security challenges – the shift to the cloud , for instance – so to some extent we were pretty ready to have a smooth transition into working from home .”
Another pillar of Liber ’ s security transformation is orchestration . “ There are so many technologies we need to cover , so the orchestration of tools and visibility across different technology stacks is extremely critical right now , especially for incident response and security operations teams .
“ Doing proper mapping is very important , and then you have the question of how you tie these things together . You might buy several tools from the same vendor or different tools from different vendors , but you need to find a balance of managing them which supports your company ’ s needs . You have to balance your priorities .
“ Eventually the idea is to try to narrow down this stuff as much as possible , into a single dashboard or as few places as possible – just for the sanity of your analysts – and it ’ s becoming harder as more and more tools are added .”
