Hi Theresa

We did this about 2 years ago and I would be happy to provide a lessons learned offline on what worked and what other 
issues arose.

Hi Theresa,

We’re about a year ahead of you in this process it seems—like you, security was primarily a network function with AV 
handled by a server support team.

In brief, our office (InfoSec) will provide "application layer" support, including access permissions, for our InfoSec 
Tools. Our net/infrastructure teams will provide hardware and OS-level support for the tools.

At this point in time we’re continue to work very closely together and since positions have been shifted from other 
teams to form the group, this is happening gradually with the above as an end  goal.

Feel free to ping me if you’d like to talk about more specific details.

Dave

Subject: [SECURITY] Reorganizing for security team

Hi,
We are finally at a point where we can reorganize to create a separate security team.  Security is now primarily on the 
network team, with AV systems and the like on a technical architecture team.
Those of you who have created a separate security team can help us out.  What tasks (like firewall installation, 
firewall rule updates, SIEM implementation, etc.) are done on what team?  What belongs to networks, what belongs to 
systems, and what belongs to security? How did you architect the separation of duties?

Thanks for all insight -
