It is a common observation among many customers I have visited that the IT operations teams and the Security Operations teams operate independantly from each other. With the convergence of security into the network, this will have to change.

I found a nice paper that touches on where operational and security overlap and how to address them effectively and affordably.

"The segregation between the IT Security and Systems Operations functions is well entrenched. This white paper, "IT SecureOps: Four Principles of Success," offers your organization a solution guide, highlighting four problem areas where operational and security responsibilities overlap and how to address them effectively and affordably.
