Amit Dhawan, CISO - Birlasoft
By MYBRANDBOOK
Birlasoft understands security requirements better
Redefined CIO role
CIO and CISO roles are seeing a massive change as the technology and the way we use technology is changing. From servers to on-premise data centres the technology had moved to cloud. The ease of availability of cloud and the a-la-carte offerings of applications and support infrastructure has made paradigm changes to the way organizations work. The improvements in compute through mobility with BYOD and CYOD etc. are also effecting the change in roles. In managing these multitudes of options, the focus is shifting from provisioning / availability to technology, features, pricing and security compliances. In some way, all these are limiting the role of a traditional CIO, but in parallel, increasing the focus of the CISO role.
Innovations & ROI
We are an IT services company focussing on digital and large end transformations. We are seeing a shift in how non-BFSI companies are now adding cyber security as an inherent part of the discussions and also including these elements in the RFPs.
As more businesses decide to imbibe security, the market is seeing different needs arising from different business sectors. We at Birlasoft have strong roots in technology and understand the security requirements. As mentioned above, it is not always the tools and technology, it is more often the changes in security culture, policies and the procedures that is required to be implemented.
Key Priorities
We are constantly evaluating our business with our customers and bringing the changes in parallel, re-evaluating our own security portfolio and offerings. We are monitoring the threat vectors of the new business and looking at the new tools and technologies in the market to mitigate these. Since it is not always the tool but also the person sitting behind, we are constantly reworking on our policies and procedures to drive changes from the process and culture change perspectives. In my opinion, the requirement may decide the tool at a certain cost, but the ROI depends on astute implementation and the security culture in the organization.
“We have a diverse understanding of customers from a large number of sectors from BFSI to discreet manufacturing to healthcare and automotive and others. We have a matured innovation service that meets the emerging requirements. We associate this with solid foundations of core understanding of both the tools and the technology, and provide the best in class solutions to our customers.”
