Federal cybersecurity leaders are no longer operating in silos between IT operations and security—they are being forced to align both functions to reduce risk, improve resilience, and directly support mission outcomes. This fireside explores how cybersecurity leaders are operationalizing resiliency—using endpoint management, real-time visibility, and streamlined workflows to reduce friction between IT operations and security while strengthening enterprise risk posture. Rather than treating cybersecurity as a standalone function, this discussion will examine how modern CISOs are enabling IT operations as a force multiplier—improving control, accelerating response, and sustaining continuous readiness in dynamic environments.
