CIO Responsibilities Focused on Recovery

IT Job Descriptions

CIOs have three major responsibilities in helping enterprises succeed during the recovery:

  • CIOs must keep all IT systems and networks managed, optimized, and available to contribute maximum business value at minimal cost.
  • CIOs need to protect critical infrastructure against an increasingly hostile threat environment spyware, viruses, attacks, intrusions and human-engineered security lapses.
  • CIOs  must prevent exposure to legal and regulatory compliance penalties or breach disclosure laws. If IT fails in any one of these areas, their organizations can go out of business, or face criminal sanctions.

In meeting these responsibilities, CIOs can no longer incrementally buy new tools to meet any new requirement that makes headlines in the technical or business media. Business drivers, security and compliance mandates converging on the enterprise require a converged response.

 CIOs need solutions that enable them to eliminate redundant technologies and processes and integrate disparate elements into a common workflow. At the same time software vendors have adopted the language of convergence and consolidation, their product lines remain constrained by legacy architectures and designs.

The challenge faced by CIOs is that they can not propose any changes to their user base that carries the risk of disrupting established revenue flows not to mention technical risks inherent in overhauling or replacing obsolete products.

Internal Staff Account for Over One Third of All Data Losses

Security Policies Procedures

Over one-third of data loss incidents are caused by human error. A human flipped the wrong switch, bumped into or spilled something, tripped over a power cord, dislodged or miss-routed an equipment cable, touched a sensitive component while carrying a static charge - or otherwise misused the equipment. And that's just the accidental incidents. What about intentional misuse of equipment - and theft? Today's high-dollar servers are so compact that they could be removed from the building in a briefcase. When you consider the magnitude of the IT investment, and the value of the data and applications that ride on it, you can appreciate the critical importance of protecting it from unauthorized access.

Diversified access-control policies and procedures enable you to manage access at the level of function and/or individual.
