Report finds IT and Security Teams Increasingly United in Battle Against Sophisticated Cyberthreats

New report from Commvault and Futurum shows organizations rallying around AI to counter AI-driven threats in 2024

Commvault, a leading provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for hybrid cloud organizations, today released a new report that found the traditional silos between ITOps and security teams are beginning to break down, as organizations realize the importance of increased collaboration to combat the onslaught of more sophisticated cyber attacks.

Commissioned in partnership with The Futurum Group, the report, “Overcoming Data Protection Fragmentation for Cyber-Resiliency,” surveyed over 200 C-Suite and senior-level IT executives (more than half of which were CIOs, CSOs, and CISOs) in the Americas, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific regarding their cyber resilience positions.

According to the report, nearly all (99%) respondents indicated that the relationship between ITOps and security has grown more connected over the past 12 months. For those who described the relationship between ITOps and security as “connected,” 64% stated they now have shared goals for maintaining the company’s security and 70% stated they have joint processes and procedures in place for daily operations. However, there is still work to do. For example, only 48% stated they have established joint processes and procedures in place to mitigate or recover from an incident.
