CIOs are often teetering between striving for innovation and maintaining operational excellence. With a potential recession on the horizon and lingering complications from the pandemic, what is the best way to strike a balance between the two? 'CIOs are empowering everyone to challenge the status quo daily and providing the digital acumen and psychological safety required for teams to thrive in a culture of continuous improvement, experimentation, and rapid innovation,' according to Red Hat CIO Jim Palermo in our latest report in partnership with HBR Analytic Services.

In his book, The Innovator's Dilemma, author Clayton Christensen writes that big companies fail to innovate not because of a lack of resources but because the processes and values that helped them scale are not designed for disruptive innovation.

Lately, I've been noticing a trend I call "the implementer's dilemma," which follows similar logic to explain why leading companies find themselves woefully stuck in outdated implementations of their software. Like the innovator's dilemma, the implementer's dilemma is a product of how enterprises function: Enterprises tend to approach software implementation with how to fix today's problems, not weighing the future needs of the business.

ChatGPT may be in its fledgling stage of development, but we are already seeing promise in its capacity to transform how we perform tasks, maintain various roles, and even operate in different industries.

In September 2022, Forrester reported that Artificial Intelligence (AI) software expenditure is projected to reach an annual growth rate of 18 percent, doubling by 2025 and growing 50 percent faster than the global software market. Given the popularity of ChatGPT, it is not farfetched to imagine that a large part of that market will be chatbot technology, which combines AI and language to serve users with a human-like quality to its responses.

So, what does this mean for a CIO?

Business leaders who have a complete understanding of where their people and activities are situated in their overall strategy have 'strategic clarity.' These leaders are invaluable - they can fill their team's day with meaningful work, burst through information silos, synergize teams across departments, and articulate every activity's role in achieving their goals.

By connecting every department, goal, person, and task to a shared vision, businesses can unlock their full potential. While establishing strategic clarity might sound complicated, with the right framework, it's quite intuitive. Here's how you can accomplish this using the strategic clarity map.

Global software and cloud services provider SoftwareOne released its "CIO Pulse: 2023 budgets & priorities" report on March 9, revealing that organizations will feel significant pressure to do more with less this year.

The report is based on a survey of 600 IT leaders in the U.S. and U.K. Among the top findings in the report is that although 93% of CIOs anticipate an increase in IT budgets in 2023, 83% feel pressured to maximize their budgets more than ever before.

Enterprise data storage security has become increasingly complex and challenging in recent years due to the exponential growth of data and the proliferation of cyber threats. While organizations have reaped the benefits of increased efficiency and accessibility of data, they are also faced with the daunting task of safeguarding it. With the growing threat of data breaches and cyber-attacks, there is a growing need for enterprises to implement comprehensive security strategies to protect their data.

Kubernetes is the industry standard for container orchestration, and it's being used by born-in-the-cloud startups and cloud-native enterprises alike. It's found in production on-premises, in the cloud, and at the edge for many different types of applications, including some that Kubernetes wasn't initially built for.

Artificial intelligence has become the tech industry's shiny new toy, with expectations it'll revolutionize trillion-dollar industries from retail to medicine. But the creation of every new chatbot and image generator requires a lot of electricity, which means the technology may be responsible for a massive and growing amount of planet-warming carbon emissions.

With all the hype surrounding ChatGPT, it's no wonder other companies are vying for a piece of the AI-powered chatbot game. Companies are betting that we're at a decisive moment in the artificial intelligence industry, where products that adopt and build upon the budding technology could have the potential to reshape technology as we know it - not to mention shake up the Big Tech hierarchy.

Few people get excited about auditing or regulatory requirements. However, given the rapid pace of change within the regulatory and compliance landscape in recent years, there is reason to get excited about data center auditing. The auditing rules that data centers need to meet are changing in some ways, and stakeholders must track and respond to the changes if they want to remain in compliance with the various regulatory and industry auditing standards they need to meet.

Yet, enterprises were underprepared to deal with the well-known threats. With the rise of new technologies and the increased adoption of remote work, cybercriminals have quickly adapted their tactics. They are now targeting businesses in ways never seen before.

As a result, every organization needs to realign its cybersecurity goals and processes to meet the changing needs of the threat landscape. CISOs must stay ahead of the curve and be prepared for the cybersecurity trends defining 2023.

Researchers came to this conclusion based on the 2022 data, specifically these three trends:

Attack growth

In 2022 there was a huge increase in attacks against Wallarm's customers' APIs, which ballooned over 197% from H1 to H2. As API-related breaches influence today's headlines, it's clear that this trend is extrapolating beyond Wallarm customers and will continue to grow in 2023.

This year, we'll see the updated list for 2023 being published, which is currently in Release Candidate status soliciting contributions...

Although 4 years is an extremely long time when it comes to computing, the fact remains that most organizations are still in the process of putting better API security controls in place to protect against the 2019 Top 10. Additionally, remember that the list contains ten categories of vulnerabilities, each category housing multiple vulnerabilities.

2. Heightened API Security Risks

3. Multiple Clouds

4. Perimeterless Networks

5. New Types of Cloud Cybersecurity Attacks

6. The Growing Security Cost of the Cloud

Cybersecurity has become tremendously more challenging over the past decade. The number of cyberattacks increased by about 60-fold. The average cost of attacks has also surged, growing from about $3.8 million per incident in 2015 to $4.35 million in 2022.

Business owners have a lot to consider when it comes to the management of bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies - gone are the days of these policies being popular like they were for their first 12 years of their existence, and here are the days of different priorities in 2023.

When BYOD policies were first launched, they became popular and remained mainstream practice for over a decade as they were viewed as being an inexpensive alternative for businesses. Nowadays, though, there is debate over BYOD still being a smart choice for companies as the corporate focus has shifted to the preservation of mobile endpoints and the welfare of employees.

Over the last two decades, big data has provided benefits in the form of cutting-edge software that made the generation, collection, and amalgamation of data widely available to organizations. These positive impacts are both wide-reaching and apparent from optimal route planning in aviation to fraud detection and risk management in the financial sector and even tracking infectious diseases on a federal level.

1.What is SSL Decryption and its Business Benefits? Ans: Data can ideally travel over the Net without any security hiccups and clients can receive information they are searching for without any delays or issues, and businesses need not be worried about any malicious traffic entering their network.

Actually, malicious threats pose a real challenge to the privacy of insecure data traveling over the Internet. Therefore, encryption became vital to securing information moving over the Internet. This stopped data from being misused and helped protect its privacy. It also made sure that no one else in between understand it, but the two end communicators.
