IDC's Chief Information Security Officer Predictions: Securing the Expanding Walls of an Enterprise
Jan. 7, 2013 08:01 AM
International Data Corporation (IDC)
today announced details for the upcoming Web conference, IDC's
2013 Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) Predictions: Securing the
Expanding Walls of an Enterprise, to be held January 9, 2013 at
11:00 a.m. U.S. Eastern time. The complimentary Webcast will feature Chris
Christiansen, Program Vice President, Security Products and
Services, and will explore how the growth of BYOD strategies, cloud
deployments, and social media have changed the scope and size of the
enterprise and, therefore, the span of security strategies.
According to Christiansen, "Securing the enterprise has taken on a whole
new meaning and requires a new set of information technology tools. Our
predictions were designed to help the CISO navigate the changing
landscape and make the most strategic business decisions on IT
investments today."

As a preview to the full set of CISO predictions, IDC expects the
following trends will have an impact on the CISO role in the coming year:
Prediction #1: CISOs will get agreement with the C-suite about
BYOD security policy.
This year, IDC predicts that CISOs will arrive at a BYOD security policy
that strikes a balance between user freedom and protection of corporate
assets. To achieve this, the next generation of mobile security will
"containerize" corporate and consumer apps, data, and access. By
blending MDM and MAM (Mobile Applications Management), IT can categorize
corporate apps, data, and access and containerize these elements. IT
will just control the corporate portion of the device, leaving the
consumer portion unencumbered.
Prediction #2: CISOs will organize corporate social networking
activities that are driven by customer experience, brand identity,
return on value, and security.
