5 Reasons Why CIOs Prioritise Business Intelligence & Analytics

by 13.11.2019

The connected nature of modern businesses has had a profound impact on how the top management tiers think. Before the advances of Cloud computing and Big Data, CIOs generally tended to view their businesses as a one-dimensional structure instead of multiple complex systems being at play.

The age of information has changed the way businesses are run. The modern CIO is enlightened on all fronts of technological advances and emphasises BI and analytics. In case this enlightenment is absent, the company’s chances of falling behind the competition are high.

Hence, most CIOs are catching up on these 2 buzzwords- BI and analytics. Here are 5 principal reasons why.

Why are BI and analytics so important?

There is a deluge of data which are fuelling modern businesses. Without the helping hand of BI and analytics, it would be overwhelming. Mercifully, these technologies exist for a reason- to sift through the noise and find the right chord. This musical metaphor is also true for business analytics.

  1. Data remains big business, needs better analytics

Data is the new oil. Industry leaders have latched on to this issue as they have realised that customer data could yield unforeseen information into what drives them, how they reach decisions, how they intend enterprises to view  them and so on. The privacy concerns about the end-use of data have made the collection process a tad tougher but it is still on-going. Once collection is complete, collation is required. Enter BI.

  1. A connected world needs more analytical insights

When you reach your workplace, you log on to the Internet. During the day, you are mostly online. When you head home, you are still looking at your smartphone. This love for all things digital has yielded a ripe minefield of data for corporations. We leave a trail behind us, and Business Intelligence and analytics can help make sense of it.

  1. The omnipotent Cloud and its impact on BI

With Cloud technologies entering the mainstream, there is no dearth of storage space. The Cloud will drive rapid development of analytics, will drive down the escalating budgets of data analytics and BI, and will also provide a new range of tools to the CIO. Once these new toys are in the right hands, it is expected that we will solve old problems with new methods. And there is no doubt that analytics is the most potent of this new arsenal.

  1. Analytics has grown rapidly

Recently, BI and analytics have witnessed significant strides in terms of efficiency and reliability. They can spot trends on time, and can make business predictions a lot easier. This means a lot of competitive advantage, something that every firm desires but few attain. Business Intelligence also means learning from rivals, and then using certain ideas depending on specific needs. Analytics can help expose any secret methods which such rival companies might be using.

  1. Users need information 24*7, and BI is key

This can partially be attributed to the consumerist culture. However, to stay relevant, businesses must also remain online all the time. This ‘always open’ approach is not possible without involving data and intelligence gathered from analytical tools. People look at YouTube videos, engage in social networking and check out sporting statistics- thereby remaining online most of the time. The proper usage of analytics can grab their attention. This is also when Business Analytics come into proper play.

It is thoroughly unremarkable that CIOs are engaged so often in the newest BI and analytics trends. Their job is to keep the company ahead, and these techniques are useful in this aspect.

Identity and Access Management:

Identity and access management (IAM) is a set of business processes, policies, and technologies that make it easier to manage electronic or digital identities. Information technology (IT) managers can control user access to critical information within their organizations by implementing an IAM framework.

Single sign-on systems, two-factor authentication, multifactor authentication, and privileged access management are examples of IAM systems. These technologies also enable the secure storage of identity and profile data, as well as data governance functions to ensure that only necessary and relevant data is shared.

What is the significance of IAM?

Businesses and IT departments are under increasing regulatory and organizational pressure to safeguard access to corporate resources. As a result, they can no longer assign and track user privileges using manual and error-prone processes. IAM automates these tasks while also allowing for granular access control and auditing of all corporate assets on-premises and in the cloud.

IAM, with its ever-expanding set of features such as biometrics, behavioral analytics, and AI, is well suited to the rigors of the new security landscape. For example, IAM’s tight control over resource access in highly distributed and dynamic environments aligns with the industry’s transition from firewalls to zero-trust models, as well as with IoT security requirements.

While IT professionals may believe that IAM is only for larger organizations with larger budgets, the technology is available to businesses of all sizes.

MDR

Outsourced cybersecurity services meant to safeguard your data and assets even if a threat evades typical enterprise security procedures are referred to as managed detection and response (MDR).

An MDR security platform is a sophisticated 24/7 security control that frequently incorporates a wide variety of essential security functions, such as cloud-managed security for enterprises that cannot operate their own security operations center. MDR services integrate sophisticated analytics, threat intelligence, and human knowledge in incident investigation and response at the host and network levels.

Benefits of Managed Detection and Response (MDR)

Monitoring 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and better communication channels with expert SOC analysts.

Without adding full-time employees and resources, experienced security analysts manage your organization's defenses.

Endpoint threat detection and response service that is fully controlled.

Threat detection has been improved, and detection coverage has been expanded.

Expert assessment of alarms and occurrences, as well as follow-up activities

EDR

EDR (end point detection and response)

Endpoint detection and response (EDR), sometimes known as endpoint detection and threat response (EDTR), is a type of endpoint security system that continually monitors end-user devices in order to identify and respond to cyber threats such as ransomware and malware.

 

Why is EDR Important?

All businesses should be aware that given enough motivation, time, and money, attackers will ultimately develop a means to breach your defenses, no matter how advanced they are. Here are some convincing reasons why EDR should be a component of your endpoint security strategy.
