High-performance IT is the pursuit of continuously improving business results through technology. It rests on three principles: 1) IT must always align with the business; 2) IT must build trust on a foundation of security, privacy, and resilience; and 3) IT must empower the business to readily adapt to changing market conditions and customer demand. By embracing high-performance IT, CISOs have an opportunity to transition the perception of security, privacy, and risk management as obstructionist cost centers to functions that drive trusted relationships with customers, employees, and partners and that fuel the organization’s long-term success. In this session, we describe the technology and practices that security and risk leaders need as they begin their high-performance IT journey.
