The Office Politics of Remediation
Summary
Hosts David Spark and Dan Walsh discuss the political and governance challenges of automated security remediation with guest Lizzie Namor, CEO of Telescope. They explore a "crawl, walk, run" maturity model, emphasizing that organizations must first define data ownership and policies before enabling autonomous agents. The conversation highlights the need for reversible actions, clear SLAs, and cross-departmental alignment to shift security from a blocker to a trusted steward, ensuring automation enforces governance rather than replacing human accountability.
