EMA Webinar to Explore How Leading Enterprises Are Addressing Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Network and Security Challenges

Event will provide actionable strategies to bridge gaps between network and security teams, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen compliance and security posture     

LAFAYETTE, Colo., July 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), a leading IT and data management research and consulting firm, today announced an upcoming webinar titled "Unifying Compliance Across Hybrid Clouds: How Network and Security Teams Can Collaborate to Reduce Risk." Shamus McGillicuddy, Vice President of Research at EMA, Tony Dalton, Technical Director at BackBox, and Stephanie Stouck, Director of Product Marketing at BackBox, will explore practical strategies for enhancing collaboration between network and security teams to reduce the operational complexity of hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Hybrid and multi-cloud environments are transforming IT—bringing scalability and flexibility—but also introducing significant network and security complexity. To manage compliance and security effectively, network and security teams must collaborate and adopt unified management platforms. However, IT leaders often struggle to build effective partnerships between these teams. According to research from EMA, only 45% of enterprises report effective collaboration between their network and security groups, and tool-sharing remains a major challenge.

"Network and security teams struggle to build partnerships for a multitude of reasons," McGillicuddy said. "EMA research has identified several ways that IT leaders can bridge organizational silos, from adopting new tools to changing culture"

During the webinar, McGillicuddy, Dalton, and Stouck will discuss these challenges and explore:     

• Best practices for building better partnerships between network and security teams
• How leading enterprises are addressing hybrid and multi-cloud network and security complexity
• How the BackBox platform enhances cyber resilience for today's complex modern networks

The webinar is Tuesday, July 22 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern. Registration is available at: https://info.enterprisemanagement.com/network-security-teams-collaboration-webinar-pr
