With Cloud, CDO and CISO Concerns Are Equally Important
Navigated properly, a melding of these complementary perspectives can help keep an organization more secure.
Cloud data consolidation is widespread, as evidenced by the rapid growth of well-known cloud data warehouses like Redshift and Snowflake. Of course, the pivot to support remote working environments over the past year has accelerated this trend. With cloud migration comes valuable cloud data, a resource that, according to Forrester s Jennifer Belissent, is a moderate priority for 61% of organizations and is a critical or high priority for 25%. The demand for cloud data insights not only magnifies the role of the chief data officer (CDO) but also makes it essential for the CDO to collaborate with the chief information security officer (CISO) to ensure data remains secure through the analytics pipeline. There is plenty of responsibility for each, and an organization s success lies in the balance between the two.
