Great security doesn’t stand alone—it starts with solid IT foundations. The CISO Blueprint eBook brings together insights from three industry leaders to reveal how IT and security can finally break down silos, embrace automation, and scale smartly to meet the demands of modern cybersecurity.
From Silos to Synergy: Breaking Down the Wall Between IT and Security
For far too long, IT and security have been operating on parallel tracks—focused on different goals and using disconnected tools. The result? Miscommunication, inefficiency, and heightened risk.
But leaders like Jason Kichen (Tricentis), Rich Casselberry (ATNI), and John Bruns (Anomali) know there’s a better way. By reshaping perceptions—where security stops seeing IT as a “risk creator” and IT stops viewing security as a “work creator”—organizations can build shared goals around risk mitigation, operational agility, and a unified security posture.
The full eBook explores how leading CISOs are reshaping these dynamics, transforming cross-team tension into operational synergy.
Centralized Endpoint Management: Cutting Through the Complexity
It’s time to tackle tool sprawl. According to the Automox Endpoint Management Report:
84% of organizations lack consolidated visibility across endpoints
83% juggle three or more endpoint tools
20% manage more than ten
That’s not just inefficient—it’s risky.
By centralizing endpoint management and consolidating tools, organizations reduce their attack surface, streamline workflows, and eliminate the guesswork. As Bruns shared, managing the entire endpoint lifecycle through a unified platform like Microsoft E5 empowers IT and security to move as one.
If you’re managing endpoints with fragmented systems, now is the time to centralize. The CISO Blueprint eBook outlines how a unified platform doesn’t just reduce complexity—it empowers teams to move faster and make smarter security decisions.
Automation: From Reactive Scrambles to Proactive Efficiency
Automation is the not-so-secret weapon to modernizing endpoint management. But it’s not about going from zero to fully automated overnight.
Only 11% of organizations report being fully automated, and just 3% say their automation is flawless. The real goal is reliable, monitored, consistent automation.
From self-patching systems to automated onboarding and offboarding, the CISOs stress that automation must be paired with strategic oversight—guardrails, alerting mechanisms, and human-in-the-loop reviews ensure that automation doesn’t become a blind spot.
Looking to modernize endpoint security through automation? The eBook delivers practical, real-world advice on building automation that’s not only efficient—but accountable and secure.
Sustainable Scaling: Innovate Without Losing Control
With 67% of IT teams understaffed and over one-third regularly missing SLAs, teams are under pressure to do more with less. But scaling doesn't have to mean compromising security.
Kichen advocates for “guardrails for growth”—clear frameworks that empower teams to innovate freely, without bypassing critical controls. Casselberry emphasizes the role of automation in reducing reactive work, while Bruns calls for continuous monitoring to catch threats in real time.
If your team is overextended or struggling to maintain coverage, this eBook is a must-read. You’ll learn how to build sustainable systems that balance speed with safety—and turn resource constraints into opportunities for efficiency.
