To be successful in our roles as IT professionals, we frequently need to juggle a variety of responsibilities or “wear a lot of hats” – especially when it comes to the important matter of protecting a company’s great asset, its data.
Hagamos una pausa para analizar las características de cada función y cómo se relacionan con las responsabilidades en materia de protección de datos de un profesional de las tecnologías de la información:
The baseball cap – Readiness
Prever y frustrar los posibles riesgos para la seguridad de la información. Como responsables de TI, es nuestra responsabilidad proteger los datos y prever cualquier punto débil. Esto implica buscar continuamente posibles riesgos y prevenirlos antes de que se conviertan en un problema. El uso de soluciones como el «cyber-deception» permite disponer de un sistema de alerta temprana y proporciona esa protección necesaria antes de que un ataque te deje ciego.
The fedora – Flexibility
Modifying data protection tactics to fit the organization’s evolving needs. As IT executives, we must be ready to modify our approach to data protection to match the shifting requirements of our organization. The digital landscape is always changing. To remain ahead of potential dangers, this can entail putting new security processes into place or modifying current ones. Additionally, an IT leader must consider the latest technologies from cloud to containers and even possibly consider older tech when involved in mergers and acquisitions. These scenarios all require a robust data protection solution that is scalable and flexible.
The beret – Creativity
Inventing innovative ways to safeguard data in an increasingly complex digital environment. As IT executives, we must be able to think creatively and develop novel ways to safeguard data in a complicated digital environment. The cybercriminals are often a few steps ahead and might have more resources than your internal IT staff, the only way to combat this is to have elegant solutions to complex problems. Nothing is more elegant than a beret…
The top hat – Decision Making
Making decisions that secure data and shield the organization from potential dangers while also ensuring that data protection and security are top organizational priorities. As the “top hat” of the company, it is our duty to make sure that data security and protection come first, to make choices that secure data, and to defend the company against any dangers. Our customers, employees, shareholders and even our peace of mind rely on knowing that IT leaders are securing the data and information of our company.
En conclusión, los responsables de TI tienen mucho trabajo y deben tener conocimientos en diversos ámbitos.
En el Día Nacional del Sombrero, dediquemos un momento a reconocer las distintas funciones que desempeñan y el papel fundamental que tienen a la hora de garantizar el buen funcionamiento y la eficacia de nuestras empresas.
