IDC PeerScape: Practices for Planning and Optimizing Cybersecurity Team Structure

This IDC PeerScape offers guidance on how to approach cybersecurity team structure. Drawing on perspectives from enterprise cybersecurity across diverse sectors, it identifies best practices for managing team structure. It also provides guidance on why team structure is important, different approaches to structuring teams, and how to determine when a current team structure is not ideal for a business' needs."There's no one-size-fits-all approach to organizing security teams," says Chris Tozzi, adjunct research advisor for IDC's IT Executive Programs (IEP). "But what every organization must do is take a deliberate, strategic approach rather than defaulting to poorly planned or ad hoc team structures."
