Staffing Needs to Support New Application
Approaches |
|
 CIO's need to adjust staffing requirements to address the needs of
2010 versus 1990. Application
architecture has and is continuing
to change.
In the 1990's
staff was geared towards mainframe -
host based applications and in the
second decade of this new century
the applications are completely
different. The require an insight
in WEB 2.0 and social network
solutions.
-
IT staff must keep all IT
systems and networks managed,
optimized, and available to
contribute maximum business
value at minimal cost.
-
IT staff needs to protect
critical infrastructure against
an increasingly hostile threat
environment spyware, viruses,
attacks, intrusions and
human-engineered security
lapses.
-
IT
Staff 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
hire staff 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 IT staff that enables them to
eliminate redundant technologies and
processes and integrate disparate
elements into a common workflow.

Internal Staff Account for Over One Third of
All Data Losses |
|
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.
