In conversations with CISOs and CIOs we've seen a huge disparity in levels of preparedness and the ability to adjust operations, depending on where companies fall on the spectrum of digital transformation.
1) The person in charge of digital transformation, be it the Chief Digital Officer or some combination of the CIO, COO and CISO, must garner support from the rest of the executive team for digital transformation projects.
2) Security is a foundational component of the digital transformation process, so make sure the CISO is involved at every phase.
Each of these digital transformation projects can help drive competitive advantage, but all this data and these processes must be secured from the start to give stakeholders greater confidence to move forward.
Leveraging this moment to build coalitions, focus on security, and improve communication and transparency, we can continue to accelerate digital transformation for competitive advantage, even after the crisis fades.
