ciso profile WHEN NETWORKS MEET THE NEW TOMORROW PRESENTED BY he world just changed. T Within a short period of time, unforeseen global events have led to vast changes in our working and everyday lives. In the context of network operations and information security, this means supporting a newly distributed workforce and digital processes with a shrinking budget. Most organizations’ networking infrastructure and tools were designed to support a predominantly office-based workforce. Overnight, IT has had to retool to support a remote workforce that is two to three times larger than was ever planned. On top of that, security needs to be maintained as network traffic has turned from the inside, out. Rapid network and tool modifications are raising new security, resilience and performance concerns. Similarly, the applications we depend on, whether custom, packaged or web-based, are all being pushed to previously untested limits. This paper looks at IT priorities that organizations will need to address now and in the new tomorrow: TODAY – The imperative is to ensure security and continuity of operations in this new inside out environment while redeploying network resources to maintain the highest level of customer and internal user experience. THE NEW TOMORROW – Faced with uncertainty at all levels from capital markets, supply chains, government policy and consumer sentiment, organizations need the agility to respond quickly and cost-efficiently to new and unforeseen challenges and opportunities. We would like to share our thoughts on how organizations can best navigate these unchartered waters based on what we are seeing across our customer base of leading organizations in every industry. u DOWNLOAD WHITEPAPERS AT: WWW.INTELLIGENTCISO.COM/ WHITEPAPERS www.intelligentciso.com | Issue 26 17
