CIO priorities for 2022
2021 was the second year of pandemic disruption that forced the workforce to work out of home. For achieving the business goals in the New Normal the IT play book is needed to meet the challenges posed by new business models, technologies and regulatory changes. Key thrust areas are improving productivity at the workspace by focusing on the digital agility in a hybrid work environment and ensuring better monitoring solutions for the employees. Also, with business getting digital, cyber threat vectors are getting more sophisticated, complex, severe and omnipresent. From infiltrations on infrastructure and crippling data breaches to ransomware, spear phishing, zero-day attacks and brute force one needs a better alignment between business and security function.
Cyber security training of the workforce as well as leveraging AI/ML based cyber security tools for better detection and protection of the crown jewels of the business are paramount. Leveraging data analytics to support the business by mining the humongous data that is available to improve the performance is another focus area for the CIO.
