Does the Perception of your IT Information Security Program Match to Reality? How do you know?
Here are some recent conversations I am having with CIOs.
1.CIO- “My Board and CEO still doesn’t care about IT security unless I can show them that loss if they don’t do something.” The board and CEO of this public company are concerned about supply chain impact security concerns and what would happen if this were impacted.
2.Director of IT – “The banks are pressing me for me for more IT Security details now. It used to be relatively easy to fill out but now it is hours and hour of work. I failed one line of the questionnaire. I was certain my answer was not a big deal, but it was. I don’t want to risk

The virtual CIO events that I originally hosted on this topic 3 years ago garner quite a bit of attention so one would think that everyone has this figured out by now. Rarely do I find CIOs have figured this problem out. Usually, in our conversation, they get very excited because they might have recently inked a deal with a vendor who they are hoping will deliver everything they need.

In a recent conversation with Don Wiegner at Corporate Executive Board, I had a very interesting discussion with him about increasing share value of a company using IT. We got down this path because I told him a story of Karan Sorensen, formerly with Johnson and Johnson, on how she and her team of 178 CIOs across the world had increased the share holder value by a $0.01 penny a share one year for a $70 billion dollar a year company. You can reference her article here on my blog or on LinkedIn. This launched us into a discussion about some of the impact that his team has been able to accomplish. I hope you enjoy.
Enter Don…..
