Responsibilities of the CIO
CIO is now the eyes and ears of the organization and should be equipped to report on employee productivity especially in WFH as well as safety of information assets. He is the key business enabler, and is a countering force to pandemic led business disruption. He is also a key change agent in cost saving from remote working while still maintaining the high availability of critical information resources.
Key priorities for 2021
Work from Home (WFH) has emerged as a key challenge to remain digital as physical workplaces have to be closed or are working at below normal capacity and technologies around WFH enablement is a key driver for being digital.
Adopting Work-From Anywhere
Sending appropriate hardware including laptops and even furniture to their homes and ensuring internet connectivity through a patchy network emerged as a key challenge for business continuity. Protection of data and privacy of consumers in compliance with GDPR, HIPAA and SOC2 another major challenge and concern.
Redesigning IT & Security strategy
Threat perception is now more focussed on end-point as more and more work is from home and away from corporate networks, where standard corporate threat prevention measures are no more workable, like firewall is effective once threat crosses it to enter the network. End-Point security, ransomware protection, employee productivity and data privacy and protection is the key to winning strategy.
Agenda of 2021
Securing the information assets from ransomware like disruption. Ensuring productivity measurement. Enabling cost cutting through WFH, data protection & privacy. Blockchain adoption cost and benefits, training and competency development to be completely on-line.
