A SaaS software business named SysKit has released a report on the impact of digital transformation on IT administrators and the present governance environment. According to the report, 40% of businesses experienced a data breach in the last year. This can have a serious impact on an organization's productivity and lead to costly fines, downtime, and the loss of clients and certifications that are essential to its operations.
The research, held out in November, included 205 US IT managers who are in charge of overseeing the IT infrastructures of their firms, and it fairly depicts the target demographic. As per SysKit, improper zero trust and full trust implementation can result in data breaches. Based on the survey, 68% of respondents believe that the zero trust approach restricts the ability to collaborate, while 50% of respondents think that the full trust approach to governance is ideal.
The majority of IT administrators (82%) agree that non-technical staff who are resource owners must be more proactive in data reviews and workspace maintenance. Furthermore, when enquired about one‘s specific IT governance skills, 50% of the respondents stated that non-tech employees do not know how to properly apply external sharing policies, 56% believed they did not know how to properly apply provisioning policies, and 30% stated that their coworkers are not taking care of their inactive content. According to SysKit, this lack of knowledge can result in data leaks, unchecked workspace sprawl, and higher storage expenses.
The survey also revealed that excessive workloads, a lack of comprehension from superiors, and a misalignment of IT and business strategy are among the main issues for IT administrators. As technology continues to develop, organizations will face new opportunities and difficulties. Future applications of AI-based technologies have not yet been defined since they are still in their initial stages.
