The changing IT security paradigm amid COVID-19
As global organizations grapple with COVID -19 pandemic and the economic uncertainty arising from lockdown, IT security is becoming increasingly a matter of concern. The Security and Risk Management (SRM) pros are on their toes to strengthen their organizations’ digital resilience to combat unexpected disruptions in the business process.

That’s not surprising. Investments in digital technologies raise productivity. In the 2018 report, Digital Transformation Initiative, Maximizing the Return on Digital Investments, co-written by Accenture and the World Economic Forum, the research highlights that the productivity of organizations investing in new technologies is three times higher.
