Have you ever requested a new tool that would make your job 10x easier, just for the grumpy Security person to decline your request with a terse, unreasonable "No"? There are definitely security teams that may enjoy living this scenario, though countless more of us want to change that reputation, and we are hoping to do so by finding a common language between security and other teams. In other words, when a team understands why the other team works the way it does, a healthy productive partnership is more more likely to emerge and flourish.

In this session, we'll discuss some of the key goals and terms security teams look to accomplish. By the end of our time together, I hope to:
1. Have you conversational in security-speak, comfortable as an effective security translator,
2. Help brainstorm ideas to get your security team security to speak *your* language, and
3. Understand what security teams aim to do and how you can align their interests with yours for a more effective overall operation.
