Organizations are moving quickly to digitize and implement modern workplace models. McKinsey estimates that in 2023, 70% of organizations will employ hybrid or multi-cloud management technologies, tools, and processes. Therefore, in order to meet demand, remain competitive, and mitigate risk, it’s imperative your Chief Information Officer and your Chief Information Security Officer team up to create an environment that is both agile and secure.
This has been historically complicated due to many factors—inherent conflicts in their roles, legacy hierarchies, and competition over budget allocation, to name a few—but the speed at which organizations are digitizing and the scale of digital transformation initiatives organizations are undertaking have added complexity to the relationship.
