What keeps digital leaders awake at night?

Editorial Type: News     Date: 01-2015    Views: 2020      









Security, loss of data and cloud security are the top things that keep digital leaders awake at night, according to a survey from BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT

The institute's annual 'Digital Leaders' survey gives a snapshot of what senior IT professionals are looking forward to over the next 12 months and the longer-term period of 3-5 years.

Adam Thilthorpe, director of professionalism for the institute, commented: "It's quite clear that security, of almost every shape and size, is the main thing keeping IT professionals awake at night. This is no surprise; this is no longer an IT issue alone, but the most important issue for the board. The reputations of many organisations now rely not only on the traditional elements, such as customer service, but also increasingly on the way in which they handle and secure their customers' data."

The survey revealed that information security (60%), cloud computing (55%) and mobile computing, including BYOD (53%), are the top priorities for many organisations over the next 12 months. More organisations are realising that such technological developments can potentially benefit their businesses, help increase productivity and ensure business continuity, added BCS.
