The Unified Mind

Podcast

A new podcast that tackles the NetOps & SecOps divide.

Join us as we explore problems with, and solutions to, the structural divide between enterprise NetOps and SecOps (a gaping chasm where millions of dollars can be lost). Each week, our experts discuss how shared visibility, communication, and ownership simplify (and dramatically speed up) enterprise incident diagnosis and resolution.

The Weakest Link: Why User Risk Is Really a Policy Problem

In this episode, Joseph and the panel look past the user to what the user touches: the endpoint, the phone, the network resources behind them and the data they handle. Along the way, they make the case that user risk is less a people problem and more a policy, design and accountability problem.

How to Stop NetOps & SecOps from Pointing Fingers at Each Other

When performance drops, network and security teams can see the same event differently. Join experts from CommandLink and Versa Networks to explore how gaps in visibility, communication, and ownership complicate the response.

THe THEME

How Modern Enterprises Align Network & Security Teams on Visibility & Root Cause

Most network and security teams aren't joined at the hip—and that's a problem. A large, distributed enterprise can waste millions of dollars each year from this misalignment. (Just ask Target, Equifax, SolarWinds, and Capital One.)

CommandLink is on a mission to fix this.

This podcast explores:

  • Network and security infrastructure design, cross-system data normalization, and cross-function collaboration best practices.

  • How large, distributed organizations are solving complex network security problems.

AI risk is a core topic.

What to Expect

Meaty & Actionable Tactical Discussions

Converging enterprise NetOps and SecOps isn't easy (some say it's impossible). This podcast debunks harmful convergence myths so IT leaders can learn about new technologies and industry capabilities (e.g., you can now automatically unify and normalize your network and security data across all locations AND correlate signals across systems). You get strategic and tactical insights to help you and your teams build a more unified, intelligent, predictive, collaborative, and resilient environment.
