Data silos and misaligned priorities stand in the way of IT and security teams’ ability to be efficient and innovative according to Srinivas Mukkamala, Chief Product Officer at Ivanti.

Organizations have a massive data problem. Today’s businesses need to do away with security and IT data silos to optimize employee experience, reduce costs and propel innovation forward. Mukkamala introduces the concept of the "data fabric," which refers to the unification of data from various sources such as devices, users and software. By treating data as the common denominator, organizations can gain valuable insights and be more efficient.

This data fabric enables organizations to automate workflows, leading to increased efficiencies and improved outcomes.

There are three key areas that organizations must strive to optimize:

  1. Employee experience
  2. Risk reduction
  3. Disruptive fast results

Mukkamala highlights the industry's belief that automation can bring about greater efficiencies. With the help of artificial intelligence (AI), organizations can process and interpret vast amounts of data, enabling faster decision-making and action. Humans can then leverage these insights to build effective workflows and drive positive results.

Harmonizing security and IT priorities and processes to practice secure unified endpoint management allows businesses to be proactive rather than reactive when identifying and managing vulnerabilities.

This means analyzing patterns and identifying areas where automation can be implemented, organizations can optimize their operations and improve performance. This proactive approach to security allows organizations to prioritize and quantify risks, addressing concerns from both regulatory and customer assurance perspectives.

By implementing SUEM solutions and leveraging the right data, organizations can enhance user experiences, strengthen security measures, and achieve efficiencies that were previously unattainable.
