Understanding and clarifying the requirements, as well as the problem that is to be solved. Can't build and innovate unless technology and business are on the same page.

All of the above

Isn't it all of the above?

And doesn't that depend on the type of innovation.

<mention id="5d1c5a21d36e1d17d7d04ff9" displayname="Anthony McMahon"></mention> That&#39;s a great point. I think that&#39;s true especially in today&#39;s marketplace. How would you define the different types of innovation you experience in your current role?

That&#39;s a good question <mention id="603d4689570285000131b2b6" displayname="Breonna Burrell"></mention> - most of what I come across that&#39;s been branded as innovative is actually just a simple improvement on something existing.<br><br>I tend to view innovation as &#39;the process of bringing a new method/idea/product and applying it to an existing market&#39;. In that regard technology may be one of the mediums for innovation to occur (especially if that product is a digital one) but I don&#39;t see them as necessarily being the gatekeeper and/or driver of innovation.

Who owns Communication in Network vs. Security Incidents? Best Practices & RACI Guidance Needed In many organizations, Network and Security teams both play a role in incident response, especially when firewall or SASE issues impact network performance. When an issue is first diagnosed by the Network team but determined to be security-related, who should own the ongoing communication, resolution updates, and root cause reporting? I’d love to hear from the community:  • Are there best practices, ITIL/ITSM frameworks, or RACI models that clarify ownership?  • How does your organization handle communication handoffs between Network and Security teams?
