CIOs are tasked with driving their organizations' use of technology to modernize and
remain competitive.
As technology continues to reshape the way business is done, CIOs are often responsible for
the success or failure of
their organization's ability to adapt, innovate, and thrive. But innovation cannot
proceed without a counterbalancing
focus on risk. CIOs must strike a balance between the two, and new research uncovers that a
focus on cyber resiliency
to mitigate risk allows innovation to accelerate without disruption.
The modern CIO is placed in a unique position to both enable their company to adopt new
technologies that allow the
organization to compete and win and also manage the tools and teams that protect the
organization from being disrupted
by cyber incidents or outages. Oftentimes, this dual mandate can seem at odds with itself: A
focus on risk mitigation argues
for predictability and minimal change over time, while a focus on innovation promotes the
use of new, unproven
technologies to drive change.
