Key Priorities of 2020
The year 2020-21 comes in with the backdrop of the pandemic, which means that business and economy is quite disruptive and this is also setting in a New Normal, therefore there is a very keen requirement to leverage technology to build differentiation. On this front, there are three main areas where we are focusing.
● Cloud – Cloud is something definitely very big in our landscape, we have lots of plans of migrating most of our applications. We have recently moved out our primary application ERP-SAP from On-Premise to Cloud.
● Information & Infra Security – What is important is VAPT and phishing, so phishing is something that we do on a regular basis. We believe that majority of vulnerabilities start from phishing, so initially when we started, we had a very high rate of 35% and above, including very senior, with accounting-banking profile falling prone to it. But through regular assessment as well as training we have gradually been able to build an end user awareness and bring this rate down.
● E-mail security and M365 – So Office 365 which is now Microsoft 365 has really been a game changer in terms of collaboration, storage, workflow, video streaming and what not. We are gradually moving towards a paperless office with all digital innovations like E-Signature, hosting important documents on personal cloud, VDI Technology, etc.; therefore, in 2020 we have a lot of digital and IT priorities and as we speak currently working on 30+ projects.
Cyber security
Indeed, there are lot of threats, which are ever increasing, therefore we have taken a three tier strategy for this.
● Phishing - We believe that most of the vulnerabilities start from phishing, therefore we have been continuously working on that front. User awareness is extremely critical, so that mistakes committed are minimal in nature and there is no vulnerability at that front.
● Security operations & monitoring – We have upgraded our security operations (SOC) at ABG (Aditya Birla Group) level and now we have the security monitoring and threat protection (SOTIC-SIEM). There is a 24x7 logs and threat monitoring, and we are dealing with it on a proactive basis. This is also equipped with the latest threat intelligence to deal with any kind of crisis.
● Endpoint security – We believe that the end user is also vulnerable, when it comes to endpoints. For which, we have deployed anti-virus consisting of threat and ransomware protection, guard against phishing etc. For mobile devices, there is an MDM (Mobile Device Management) in place.
