CxO
Forward-thinking CIOs are mapping out three-year plans that anticipate newly mainstreamed tech, blended teams, democratized IT, and more emphasis on integration, orchestration, and business results.
Today's CIOs need to be more than strategic, they should be visionaries, too. With that in mind, many are already looking ahead and planning for what they, their IT departments, and their organizations as a whole will need in 2025...?more
Executives fear "malicious insiders" as top cyber threat to companies, research shows. Reasonable steps to secure and monitor systems may prevent reputational damage but are not enough.
The changing hybrid or fully remote work model has brought numerous cybersecurity vulnerabilities as companies have less insight into the way employees are working remotely in a post-pandemic world. As much as human resources and IT can warn employees to only use company devices, avoid private data exchanged on cellphones, and avoid using corporate credentials for personal business (think e-commerce, gaming, or dating websites), it's impossible to fully safeguard against cyber vulnerabilities driven by unmonitored employee activity. ...?more
With remote and hybrid workforces, accelerated digital transformation and cloud migration, and the increasing security issues from the other changes, CIOs are facing more complexity and change.
Meanwhile, CIOs are being asked to take on more than ever. They, and their teams, are becoming the facilitators of organizational strategy and innovation as IT is now largely responsible for digital employee experience...?more

In television programs, database security breaches are often announced with klaxon-like buzzers and flashing lights. Any IT professional knows that, in real life, that is rarely the case.
Real-life data breaches don't announce themselves. The average cybersecurity threat isn't detected and contained until 287 days after the breach. You'll need a proven process to identify and mitigate database security threats to avoid and detect breaches...?more
Modernization has taught companies that cyber spend is a smart investment.
Security is taking an outsized role in technology spending and is expected to creep into into software, hardware and cloud budgets in 2023, according to Spiceworks Ziff Davis survey of more than 1,400 IT professionals conducted in June and released last week. In addition to edging out productivity applications and accounting for 11% of software budgets, security will consume 7% of hardware spending and 6% of cloud spending, according to the report. Security and business applications will share the top spot in managed IT services budgets, each with an 11% share... ...?more

The artificial intelligence (AI) boom began in earnest in 2012 when Alex Krizhevsky, in collaboration with Ilya Sutskever and Geoffrey Hinton (who was Krizhevsky's Ph.D. advisor), created AlexNet, which then won the ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge.
The goal of that annual competition, which had begun in 1996, was to classify the 1.3 million high-resolution photographs in the ImageNet training set into 1,000 different classes. In other words, to correctly identify a dog and a cat ...?more

DR
Many companies struggle to develop and update their disaster recovery plans. In the process, they overlook the amount of IT they have moved to the cloud. What if the cloud fails?
Currently, 94% of companies use cloud services, and by 2025, it is estimated that 100 zettabytes of data will be stored in the cloud. Yet only 54% of companies have a disaster recovery plan in place. Even for organizations with DR plans, DR is decidedly aimed toward the continuation of internal assets and systems. ...?more
