Key priorities for 2021
Digital transformation has catapulted CIOs into the epicenter of organizational change, not just as a cheerleader for technology, but as a key change agent for promoting the cultural shifts necessary for successful transformation. One of the changing responsibilities of the CIO is to move the organization from thinking about building digital strategies to building a strategy that works for a digital world. Digital CIOs do not just implement technology; they are responsible to implement organizational change through applications or technologies.
The new age CIOs are building out a toolkit of sorts, which includes embracing agile business practices and launching training initiatives and communications campaigns, all while burnishing their own ability to take on new challenges related to leading organizational and cultural transformation. CIO’s new responsibilities also include nurturing digital dexterity across the workforce with an emphasis on design thinking, agile methodology, DevOps, and digital technologies.
One of the most critical responsibilities of the Digital CIO is to provide cutting edge consumer experience, round-the-clock accessibility & availability, resilient & stable platforms & constantly innovate & evolve the digital landscape thereby extracting the highest value for the organization. In order to achieve this, CIOs need to introduce & deploy state-of-art AI/ML, Mobility, Analytics, IoT, Cloud and similar other new-age technologies.
Redesigning IT & Security strategy
With the ever-increasing reality of newer threats, our organization, too, has embarked on ensuring our data security is of the highest measure. We have infused significant investments in augmenting the information security posture for our organization. Data and information security has taken centre-stage and our IT strategy has been appropriately evolved and aligned towards this fact. Having earmarked the highest level of criticality and importance to data security and privacy, we have implemented perimeter security, edge security and have worked upon tools rendering us with the ability not only to protect, but also to detect and prevent security events / incidents from happening. Apart from the tools and devices, we have also adopted the doctrine of embedding security within all our software, during the initial creation of the software.
As we are aware, the biggest threat to information security emerges from within the organizations – that is the human factor. Staff - knowingly, unknowingly and inadvertently are responsible for these threats. To address this situation, we are conducting information security awareness programs and extensive training with a certification based approach to ensure adoption by the entire population within our organization.
