The rules of business have changed. In every industry, the spread of new digital technologies and the rise of new disruptive threats are transforming business models and processes. Digital transformation is inevitable, for organisations who seek to remain relevant in the future. The initiation of any digital transformation journey will focus on three vital aspects of the organization: competencies, technology and processes. Given that each organisation has a unique DNA with distinctive aspirations, the digital journey needs to be individually crafted with clear purpose, technology choices, and implementation specifics. Leaders must take well-informed and deliberative decisions that have enormous implications and could very well define the future of the organisation.

Traditionally, CIOs and CTOs have served different roles in companies with the former focused on traditional IT strategy and management and the latter on developing innovative new technology, external customer-facing IT or custom software development. However, the research demonstrates that CIO and CTO roles have shifted and converged as a result of this increased focus on digital transformation, compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic. Would the next step be CIO/CTO as a Service which provides the right strategic IT partner available as per the need, on long term or short term, to help align IT with business?

Cybersecurity experts have become the most sought-after professional in the post COVID world as industries across the world grapple with surging data breaches, hacking and cyber-attacks. Cybercriminals are exploring new and advanced ways to infiltrate information systems, disrupt service, and steal sensitive information. With remote work becoming new normal, the hackers are having a field day. To that end, cybersecurity experts play a critical role in keeping companies’ data safe.
Currently, there are over 5,000 positions in the cybersecurity domain. According to a report, the cybersecurity workforce needs to grow 62% to meet the rising demand. The demand for security professionals is skyrocketing and shows no signs of stopping. From security architect to security consultant to Chief Information Security Officer, the potential for professionals to grow in this space are immense. Many companies are looking to make cybersecurity training and hiring a priority. Cybersecurity covers the whole spectrum of technical and non-technical skills. While cybersecurity as a career option is trending, there is a dearth of professionals with desired skills.
Given the opportunities in the field, is it the right time to start a career in cybersecurity?
