KEY PRIORITIES OF 2020
With the change in the threat landscape due to COVID-19 pandemic that has hit us, priorities to implement and adapt new technologies have changed. Focus now is more towards adapting technologies which can enhance and ease the remote working for employees. At SDG, we conduct risk assessment on a periodic basis, and based on the results of risk assessment, we decide upon the new tools/technologies that need to be implemented.
COMBINING BREAKTHROUGH & FUSION APPROACH
Technology strategy for any organization would depend on the risk appetite and threat landscape for the organization. Some organizations may want to use the breakdown technology due to the nature of the industry vertical and domain that they are in, while for others, fusion approach may work best.
This would completely depend on the threat landscape of the organization. For example, Healthcare may need to work with the latest and sophisticated technology considering the pandemic, however, for IT/ITES sector, technology that promotes secure remote working will take precedence.
CYBER SECURITY
With more organizations and workforce moving towards remote working culture, cyber security has become of a paramount importance now. There are new threats, sophisticated and targeted attacks, data breaches, phishing attacks which are emerging every day. Organizations have to now come up with more innovative methods around data security. Since the employees are no longer working from a secured office premises, they need to be trained, more than ever, on the new methodologies that are being adapted by hackers. CISOs/Compliance Leaders/CIOs have to constantly reinvent and relook at their compliance posture and keep enhancing the implemented controls to build cyber resilience.
“Digital transformation has been there in the industry for quite some time now. However, we can say that COVID-19 has really accelerated the digital transformation for many organizations as they prepare for a remote working environment. At SDG, we have always worked towards digital transformation and we have been doing it in a phased manner. We also partner with our customers and help them in their digital transformation journey by designing the right strategies for them.”
