world chess champion garry kasparov played two sixgame matches against an ibm computer called deep blue kasparov won the first match deep blue was victorious in the second match marking the first time that a computer had defeated a reigning world champion today any of us could buy an inexpensive chess program for our laptop computer which would consistently outplay deep blue in 1997 however deep blue s victory was a milestone in the development of artificial intelligence ai there was much speculation at the time about the future of ai and about the similarities of computing machines and the human mind yale university professor david gelernter urged restraint the idea that deep blue has a mind is absurd how can an object that wants nothing fears nothing enjoys nothing needs nothing and cares about nothing have a mind it can win at chess but not because it wants to it isn t happy when it wins or sad when it loses what are its post match plans if it beats kasparov is it hoping to take deep pink out for a night on the town gelernter 1997 ask ten people to define artificial intelligence and you will get ten different answers this is in some ways beneficial ambiguity firm definitions can be needlessly constraining to those whose role it is to innovate according to stone et al at stanford university the lack of a precise universally accepted definition of ai probably has helped the field to grow blossom and advance at an everaccelerating pace stanford 2016 nevertheless to talk about a thing intelligently it is worth a paragraph or two to define it as it is used in the present discussion the word artificial is relatively easy to define we use it to refer to things that do not occur naturally things that are created by humans the word intelligence is a bit more difficult philosophers psychologists anthropologists and even theologians offer a variety of definitions for the purposes of this article series we will start with a definition which focuses on problemsolving psychologist howard gardner wrote intelligence is the ability to solve problems or to create products that are valued within one or more cultural settings gardner 1983 thus artificial intelligence or ai as we shall use it here is a machine capability which does not occur naturally to solve problems or create something of value we call this the realm of narrow ai where an intelligent apparatus is created to solve a particular kind of problem or create a particular type of valuable thing general ai which theoretically includes nontrivial foresight independent problem identification and problem prioritization based on something like a human value system or humanlike hopes and dreams does not yet exist in gelernter s view the gap between the human and the electronic surrogate is permanent machines will continue to make life easier healthier richer and more puzzling and humans will continue to care ultimately about the same things they always have about themselves about one another and many of them about god gelernter 1976 in the next installment we will consider what does ai offer humankind notes and references portions of this article originally appeared in the journal of the

particular serve as assistants to humankind in problemsolving and value creation humans can articulate problems and propose solutions beyond their capacity to effectively execute the solution that is some solutions require computational capacity that exceeds human capacity in scale complexity or both it is important to distinguish between scale and complexity humans are more than capable of adding a column of numbers machines are better at scale making short work of calculating totals and averages of thousands or millions of values humans are still better than ai at certain kinds of complex tasks when those tasks are performed on a small scale amazon s alexa apple s siri and google s assistant use a special kind of ai natural language processing nlp to recognize spoken commands and questions and to provide synthetic replies as complex as these tasks might be they are not as complex as human conversation which considers not only words and grammar but tone and nonverbal and paraverbal cues human conversations take place in multiple simultaneous contexts words and grammar mean different things in different conversations thus far nlp allows machines to process language it does not yet enable them to converse as humans do bringing feelings perceptions and imagination into the exchange of information on the other hand humans can converse with only a limited number of other humans at once at a limited pace on the other hand a machine s ability to tirelessly process long streams of natural language even more than one at a time is limited only by the technical architecture of the hardware and software on which it is realized figure 1 positions some illustrative problem on axes of scale and complexity the promise of ai is in the highcomplexity lowscale and highcomplexity highscale quadrants this is what makes widespread applications of ai possible exponential increases in ubiquitous computing capacity computers which filled entire rooms in the 1960s were capable of little more than arithmetic at scale today billions of mobile phones contain the computing capacity required to perform the complex tasks which we refer to as artificial intelligence except where human wiring remains the better tool for some kinds of problemsolving machines can outperform humans in both scale and complexity this may seem obvious but it is exactly the point of all technology the first sharpened stone was a better cutting instrument than human fingernails this is what we humans do we are toolmakers we create things that allow us to solve problems and create

artificial intelligence in mainstream enterprise computing leaders and managers of businesses nonprofit organizations government agencies and others have something in common they have organizational goals and organizational stakeholders whether those stakeholders are owners customers social service clients or citizen constituents the organizational goals must align in whole or in part with solving a problem or creating something of value for stakeholders ultimately as ai becomes widely adopted everyone stands to benefit we are all consumers citizens and owners we are all stakeholders here again some definitions are necessary by enterprise systems we mean solutions built of software applications data and supporting technologies which enable an organization to achieve its distinct goals and create value for its stakeholders but we also include in this definition of system the humans who use the system the humans who derive some benefit from it and the policies and operating procedures which govern the use of the technical solution by mainstream we mean those solutions that are widely adopted or that have the potential for wide adoption yielding transformed operational processes across industry sectors the field of artificial intelligence ai is finally yielding valuable smart devices and applications that do more than win games against human champions according to a report from the frederick s pardee center for international futures at the university of denver the products of ai are changing the competitive landscape in several industry sectors and are poised to upend operations in many business functions kiron 2017 it is tempting to omit computer games from this discussion we might not think that they create real value for the stakeholders but the consumers who pay for them clearly find value in them as a form of entertainment further the broad genre of computer applications games and simulations which incorporate advanced ai technologies create stakeholder value as training and development platforms one need to look no further than commercial flight simulators which allow students and pilots of all levels of experience to train and learn without the risk of making inappropriate contact with the ground in a real aircraft with real people aboard for over half a century enterprises of all kinds have adopted successive generations of information technology to create stakeholder value by increasing sales reducing costs producing widgets or delivering services faster and more reliably organizations of all sizes today use a computer of some kind to house their systems of record a system for the collection and management of transactional information for operational needs and management reporting some organizations find ways to achieve competitive advantage through clever uses of information technology often doing the same thing as their competitors just doing it faster or cheaper we can call this a system of differentiation a few companies change the marketplace through systems of innovation innovative applications of information technology a leading information technology research firm introduced this threelayer model in 2012 referring to it as pace layered application strategy gartner 2012 because each layer promises to drive organizational change and accelerate value creation at a different pace the most wellknown example of systems of innovation is an entire enterprise amazoncom beginning as an online bookseller amazon innovated so profoundly that they almost singlehandedly killed brick and mortar bookstores it is telling that they are not known as amazon incorporated or the amazon company they are known by their internet domain name today their technology innovations have not only transformed how households and business acquire all manner of goods their technology itself has become a marketdisruptive service in the form of amazon web services aws further aws along with microsoft azure ibm watson and others are now commoditizing elements of their ai infrastructure providing an unprecedented opportunity for enterprises which are not among the tech giants to employ these technologies in their pursuit of stakeholder value table 1 lists a sample of the ai services provided by ai that enterprises can integrate into their systems according to amazon you get instant access to fast high

content with access to exponentially more powerful computing capabilities and the capacity to costeffectively generate and store vast amounts of data many organizations are just trying to make sense of the everincreasing waves of transactional data created by operational activity even so the goal posts keep moving organizations must do more than simply keep up with volume they must find differentiating and innovative ways to extract value from the data to intelligently steer the enterprise one operational process at a time through systems of intelligence systems of intelligence is a fourth layer not explicitly anticipated in the 2012 gartner report in the sense that it offers the potential of something beyond what we traditionally call innovation in gartner s pace layers we think of innovation as something humans do enabled by technology the human has a hypothesis about the market or a particular kind of stakeholder a system of innovation relying on machine learning still depends on a hypothesis formed by a human but it offers the promise of validating or invalidating many hypotheses quickly throughout a complex enterprise data warehouse analytics was once called innovative today the ability to process massive amounts of data and produce meaningful insights are a mature technology mature enough to be called traditional these technologies can create significant stakeholder value but they suffer from a fundamental limitation they are all backward facing industry research analyst david floyer said this traditional data warehouse analytics empower the few to steer the ship by analyzing its wake floyer 2015 traditional analytics most often deliver value as hindsight predictive analytics attempt to add value as foresight but the accuracy of predictions can be diminished by age of the data analyses are often based on data which is days or weeks old results are published in reports and dashboard to managers and executives who then decide what to share in contrast the vision for systems of intelligence is realtime or near realtime analyses recommendations and decisions in the hands of the information producer and consumer the idea is process as much data as possible as quickly as possible with the best available algorithms to steer the ship intelligently collectively and organically with a forward outlook machine learning often dominates discussions about ai in which the topic is novel problem solving and modeling and deriving insights from massive and complex data in the potential for widespread enterprise adoption however several kinds of ai have the potential to create stakeholder value separately or in combination natural language processing image recognition machine learning based analysis and forecasting robotics this is not an exhaustive list but these four kinds of ai are relatively easy to define empirically through wellknown examples stanford s one hundred year study on artificial intelligence  artificial intelligence and life in 2030  lists 11 applications of ai each of which are forms of narrow ai some of the most compelling applications or use cases employ more than one kind of ai for reasons of space and simplicity we will go only a little deeper into the found kinds of ai mentioned above natural language processing nlp is the ability of a machine to process human communication in its natural form written or audible and generate humanunderstandable responses in a natural form apple s siri google s assistant and amazon alexa are well known examples of the tech giants many other enterprises are today using some form of nlp airline reservation systems are a prominent example in this case the organization derives stakeholder value by providing customer service for routine matters at a lower cost than doing so with human agents image recognition appears in google s reverse image search at imagesgooglecom instead of typing a search term and receiving images as result a user can provide an image and the technology tells you what it probably is where to read about it and a selection of visually similar images the photo in figure 2 taken by the author in february 2020 returned the primary result western wall even though the most visually prominent object is not the wall but the dome of the rock and other structures beyond the wall a review of the visually similar images suggests an explanation many of the visually similar images were captured from the same direction but with a wider view in them the western wall is visible along with the dome of the rock the images appear to have a relatively larger number of metadata tags which refer to the western wall rather than the dome of the rock this reveals potential weakness of image recognition technologies all ai must be trained in some way that is we give the machine examples and tell it how to recognize important things in the examples in this instance of image recognition users contribute images and add keywords or metadata about the image because many images in the training data containing the dome of the rock are tagged with keywords referring to the western wall google s algorithm says this is a photo of the wall even though the wall is not visible this answer is in the right neighborhood in more ways than one but it is not correct a human observer would say this is a photo of the dome of the rock not of the western wall as impressive as the technology has become it is not able to overcome poor training or a bias in the training data because of errors like this humans need to supervise the machine s output especially when that output is used to inform highstakes decisions with enough correction provided by human supervisors the machine will learn more and produce increasingly accurate

address uncertainty and act with integrity including the governance assurance and management of performance risk and compliance wwwgrcglossaryorg what is grc  in february of 2002 mr michael rasmussen considered by many to be the father of grc was the one who first proposed using the abbreviation grc a model and a framework for grc were initially made available in 2003 by the open compliance and ethics group oceg the acronym is now recognised in its official capacity and it signifies the three terms governance risk and compliance every global business engages in good governance risk management and compliance practices grc even though many people are unaware of the value and meaning of grc in an official or informal setting oceg has stated grc is not a recently developed concept let s begin by discussing this anecdote to comprehend the rationale behind mr rasmussen and oceg s decision to merge these three words into a single acronym that has gained widespread reputation over the years in 2001 fortune magazine honoured america s most innovative company for the sixth year in a row as one of the most successful corporations in the united states the dotcom era had just reached its zenith consequently most investors and regulators were accustomed to the new normal of unusually high share prices this in conjunction with the lax regulatory climate of the period allowed the ceo to be creative enabling him to conceal hazardous assets and losses through a scheme that also involved the chief financial officer other executives and even the company s auditor enron went bankrupt in december of 2001 resulting in a loss of 74 billion for shareholders the loss of billions of dollars in pension benefits for its employees the collapse of the audit firm arthur andersen and the loss of all employees business partners and other financial and societal implications as a result of people and businesses losing their income we now know that this was the largest corporate bankruptcy that had ever occurred in the history of the financial world even though mr rasmussen had a broad vision for grc version 10 the sarbanesoxley act of 2002 sox adopted as a direct response to the enron scandal was the focus of every organisation in the financial sector at that time grc 10 became in essence the recipe for managing your firm in a manner that complies with the sox internal control criteria components  to understand the term more comprehensively let s understand each one of its components individually  governance  governance is a term that refers to a collection of guiding principles policies and procedures that determine how an organization works towards achieving its objectives when it comes to implementation it takes a topdown approach which involves essential stakeholders such as board members senior management and other highlevel executives the ability to carry out its operations honestly and openly depends on the robustness of its governance structure the higherups are given the ability to make decisions while keeping an awareness of the risks involved engaging with the various stakeholders and obtaining greater visibility into potential problems and incidents the data is an indispensable component of this equation the processes of data visualization internal auditing reporting and risk assessment are all facilitated by a grc programmed making accessing relevant metrics easier risk management  identifying analyzing and taking preventative measures against possible risks is referred to as risk management cybersecurity risk legal risk financial risk operational risk contractual risk thirdparty risk and the unpredictable risk of natural disasters and crises are examples of the many types of risk that can exist risk managers and risk management software must work together as part of a successful risk management programme to address potential dangers before they can cause any damage as an alternative to implementing a separate risk management programme you can choose to incorporate risk management processes into your daily operations this improves risk visibility making accessing risk data more straightforward prioritizing threats and implementing remediation strategies an organization needs to strike a balance between its risk appetite and the amount of risk it is willing to take to accomplish its business goals while reducing the amount of risk it is exposed to you can significantly increase the rate at which threats are responded to and incidents are resolved if you have open communication channels and a wellestablished hierarchy you can protect your organization on multiple fronts when you add automated controls and plans for business continuity compliance  you as a business will have to act with integrity by following the statutory government regulations that are particular to your practice area the penalties for violating these regulations range from a reprimand that amounts to little more than a slap on the wrist to significant monetary harm the rules themselves are subject to ongoing revision and adjustment you don t want to end up in the headlines for violating some environmental regulation do you you can keep tabs on many regulations industry standards rules and policies while using only a few resources available if you have a compliance programme that works effectively establish transparent workflows to facilitate the acceleration of compliance management and conduct internal audits at regular intervals to ensure that everything is operating as it should the importance of grc   if you have an integrated plan of action managing risks will be much less demanding even as those risks become more complicated and maintaining compliance becomes costlier the lessons learned from the pandemic caused by covid19 show that flexibility in risk management and compliance programmes is hugely beneficial as a result of disruptions in supply chains businesses are increasingly turning to thirdparty logistics 3pl providers to capitalize on the explosive growth of the retail ecommerce industry however increasing the number of relationships with third parties increases risk and the obligations to comply with regulations when it comes to governance risk and compliance grc having a framework that is clearly defined makes it possible to incorporate additional responsibilities with relatively little friction greater visibility into governance risk and compliance programmes provides the data necessary to recognize areas of vulnerability and overcome challenges it provides you with sufficient room to capitalize on potentially beneficial chances while minimizing the likelihood of potentially harmful incidents your company can expand its operations with the appropriate grc programme which will also assist it in managing the risks and regulations associated with its expansion  renowned frameworks  framework

activities processes and systems and effective management is a cornerstone of a bank s risk management programme critical drivers for adoption  risk landscape is becoming more complex  today s exposure to risk entails a greater degree of complication and potential harm than it did thirty or forty years ago it is no longer possible to combat every threat with legacy programmes or restrict fallout to a particular industry without allowing it to spread to other business divisions the good governance risk and compliance grc framework functions as a checks and balances system that maintains all risks within acceptable parameters constantly evolving regulatory compliance  you can build tactics to track the modifications made in real time to regulations the vast majority of grc solutions can fully automate this process eliminating the requirement for additional resources to be invested data privacy and protection  on the one hand the general data protection regulation gdpr the consumer cancellation and portability act ccpa and the personal information protection and electronic documents act pipl have mandated that businesses strengthen their cybersecurity defences on the other hand in contrast to adopting a standalone programme implementing an integrated security solution has become significantly more costeffective and efficient thirdparty engagements  due to shifting legislation and disturbances in the supply chain relationships with thirdparty entities and suppliers have become significantly more complicated grc allows you to review and manage your connections with third parties so that they are in your best interests big data analytics  having a foundation in grc enables you to gain additional insights from risk data which is especially helpful in light of recent advancements in big data analytics essential benefits of grc  visibility  thanks to grc which provides a unified framework for managing governance risk and compliance issues you may find all your data in a single location this in turn enables you to delve deeper into risk data and acquire contextual information on fundamental weaknesses it is not enough to be aware of what is incorrect grc enables you to comprehend the modifications you need to implement into the three systems to forestall future problems gaining visibility into your organisation s financial and operational health helps you to make realtime adjustments and benchmark key performance indicators kpis  optimising costs resources  the potential to save time and money is the key benefit of implementing a grc programme in your organisation as a result of the unification of these three processes you will no longer be required to allocate resources distinctly for each unit in addition if you opt to go with grc software you can automate daytoday processes this will allow your personnel to spend more time on billable activities ultimately increasing your revenue you can even integrate chatbots and natural language processing nlp to build rules for responding to and dealing with risk situations without involving a natural person if you combine artificial intelligence ai and machine learning ml  centralised access to risk data  maintain a record of every piece of information about risks in a single database you can view the data remotely allowing you to respond to risk situations more quickly for safety and privacy reasons you may choose who can access the risk data and what devices can access it process unification  is one of the more understated benefits you won t notice it immediately but it will pay dividends in the long run a uniform process taxonomy and terminology are all things that can be established using grc standardised methods simplify training new employees evaluating and benchmarking performance and ensuring that the platform continues to operate smoothly even when staff members leave or are replaced additionally over time it fosters a more riskaware culture at work ultimately reducing the number of riskrelated occurrences this increases the organisations ability to withstand risks and breaks down the functional and operational walls built up analytics  you are provided unrestricted access to the risk data enabling you to go deeper into the information to unearth hidden insights that might have otherwise been missed owing to a lack of oversight additionally integrated advanced analytics tools and reporting capabilities assist in analysing sharing and utilising risk information advantageous to the organisation and its customers how does grc function  the following are the underlying principles that enable a successful implementation of a grc framework key stakeholder management  collaboration between departments that practise governance risk management and regulatory compliance is necessary for grc which necessitates crossfunctional working relationships the following are a few examples that illustrate this point senior level executives responsible for making strategic decisions after risk assessment legal professionals who help in preparing and mitigating legal implications financial experts responsible for statutory compliance the hr function manages critical and confidential information it function taking care of cybersecurity and cybersecurity resilience grc framework  a grc framework is a paradigm for managing an organisation s governance and compliance risks it entails the process of defining the essential policies that can push the firm toward the goals that it has set for itself you may take a proactive approach to managing risks make wellinformed decisions and guarantee business continuity if you adopt a grc framework this enables you to take advantage of the many benefits of using such a framework companies put in place grc by adopting grc frameworks which include essential policies that align with the organisation s strategic objectives when formulating company policies organising processes and exercising governance over the business key stakeholders base their work on a shared understanding derived from the grc framework companies can use specialised software and other resources to coordinate and keep track of the progress made using the grc framework grc maturity  an organisation s level of grc maturity can be defined as the degree to which it has successfully integrated governance risk assessment and compliance you have reached a high degree of grc maturity when implementing a wellplanned grc strategy yields positive cost efficiency productivity and the efficacy of risk mitigation on the other hand a low level of grc maturity is inefficient and causes business units to continue functioning in isolation implementing grc effectively  to implement a grc solution effectively below are the tips to ensure a successful implementation value creation  it is essential to understand the actual benefit of grc implementation the start of a successful implementation starts by identifying the already existing multiple methods across different business segments in addition the process enables you to determine which procedures are successful and must be maintained in constructing a unified system similarly you can get rid of any data technologies or assets that aren t needed are duplicates and hurt value while also having the ability to make the centralised process more difficult from this vantage point you will be able to prioritise the assets of your company that bring in the highest revenue and you will be able to direct your grc strategy toward improving these assets creating a grc roadmap  to narrow the scope of your strategy you will need a distinct goal that summarises the primary grc functions performed by the framework these results have to be the product of ongoing collaboration between all stakeholders to guarantee that they are by the requirements of each division your targeted results can be more easily achieved if you have a solid understanding of the potential benefits that could be gained from a successful grc framework some pertinent benefits of a practical grc framework are cohesive approach and better alignment of every department and business goals ensures effective risk mitigation and management entailing financial legal strategic operational and cyber well informed and quick decision making gap analysis  once you have identified all the details about your existing grc processes you need to zero in on the following maturity of the processes quality of data existing gaps the following are next steps are to record the following any missing or duplicate data any duplication or redundant processes identify the scope for automating or removing manual workflows managing stakeholder expectations  your grc implementation strategy s success needs to ensure that your entire organisation is on the same page even though this is frequently neglected every department is involved in an effectively planned grc project all significant stakeholders must be allowed to express their thoughts and concerns about your plan organisational alignment can be achieved as shared below alignment of executive team with critical factors the first stage in securing organisational common ground is to create a detailed plan that includes essential aspects of the project such as the timetable and the budget before taking additional action you must confirm that leadership agrees with your strategy then it would be best if you made any necessary adjustments before telling the rest of the organisation moving down from the top as soon as you have received executive approval you will need to put change management practices into effect across all other business units these processes need to be realistic and conveyed understandably for instance it is reasonable to anticipate that the modifications you have suggested will be met with some level of opposition processes and procedures that have been in a department for a long time often need to be gradually phased out before they can be eliminated it is to be ensured that each team receives consistent and informative updates if you want a seamless transition these updates should inform all the leading stakeholders about the essential changes that have been made and how those changes will influence their roles make sure that any team member can easily share any concerns suggestions or other significant input that may be why it is required to adjust your approach create a process that is open and transparent create a robust grc approach  putting in the necessary foundation is necessary if you want to ensure that your grc system is practical and adaptive because of the everevolving nature of cyber threats and vulnerabilities the everchanging landscape of cyber threats and the severe repercussions of data breaches these components are of the utmost importance in information technology governance and risk management it grc even more emphasis needs to be paid to guaranteeing that the grc methods employed by financial institutions and health organisations are flexible enough to accommodate the regular changes in regulatory requirements that their respective businesses are subject to invest in a grc software solution of repute  putting in place a grc programme from the beginning necessitates the utilisation of many different moving elements such as the consolidation of information silos continual upgrades and the utilisation of manual procedures such as spreadsheets you can direct more of your implementation efforts to higherlevel activities using a grc platform because it can simplify many of these problematic areas when selecting a grc tool for your firm just as you would with any other thirdparty vendor you need to complete your due diligence to ensure that the tool complies with all compliance rules and does not put your organisation in a position where it faces extreme security risks the appropriate grc technology should result in a return on investment roi that can be measured in terms of money and time saved some critical questions that need to be addressed are does the software solution offer ease of use does it have automated workflows is it customisable and scalable does the solution offer detailed task management and execution does it support the integration of thirdparty applications is it costeffective from a tco total cost of ownership perspective  use industry prevalent and accepted standards  the capacity to align with the requirements of the entire business is one of the essential characteristics of a grc strategy that is both successful and efficient a baseline should be established as a point of reference even if every department will have its own unique set of criteria for example you can adopt an industry standard such as nist 80053 or iso 27001 to standardise your control architecture evaluate and adjust your grc strategy  getting your new grc programme up and running is not a set it and forget it kind of endeavour after it has been implemented you must ensure that your strategy can develop and adapt to your company s goals every group should maintain comprehensive and uptodate records of their grc requirements highlighting any significant shifts in the situation such as incorporating new tools this reporting can serve as a point of reference during the periodic meetings with stakeholders to ensure that the entirety of your organisation continues to follow the overall strategy to ensure compliance management is being properly carried out at least one annual audit must be performed you should then prioritise the resolution of any compliance issues that have arisen concluding remarks  deploying a robust grc framework is a tedious initiative but if you partner with an expert partner like divihn integration inc you do not have to worry about your roi to know more please reach out to sgovilkar divihncom

perspectives tag salesforce well architected solutions expert content kannan venkataraman want to show in government sort by trending latest 15 best practices in salesforce development kannan venkataraman salesforce well architected solutions trending latest government image introduction  many businesses have decided to use salesforce s customer relationship management solution over the past few years there has been a dramatic increase in the number of people using salesforce which has propelled the company to be one of the enterprise software vendors currently experiencing the most significant rate of expansion if you want the best possible results from your salesforce implementation you must adjust as your company grows and its business needs shift when developing new functionality for salesforce or customising the features there are many factors to consider the outofthebox capabilities of salesforce deliver a plethora of cuttingedge features that make it easier for contemporary businesses to fulfil their operational requirements these capabilities help modern organisations meet the demands of their customers although many companies can generate value with these features others must develop and customise the solution further to better meet their unique business goals when done correctly salesforce development can enable companies to build specific features services and applications into the salesforce platform while easily and quickly achieving their business goals taking advantage of the solution s multitenant architecture and integration capabilities businesses can customise it to create outstanding elements that benefit the company notable facts about salesforce  more than 150000 businesses use salesforce generating 2125bn in revenue in 2021 the market share of salesforce crm is 198 it is higher than the combined share of the top four competitors salesforce has more than 56000 employees globally the revenue of salesforce has consistently grown in the last twenty years at a cagr of 5122 the salesforce subscription and support division contributes to 9399 of the overall revenue worth 1998bn benefits of salesforce development  build userfriendly applications and modules that technical and nontechnical users may easily traverse with draganddrop functionality integrate features and capabilities that can be customised for teams and departments and enhance workforce productivity salesforce cooperation cloud improves communication and collaboration through updates projects and bottlenecks create functions that address customer questions requirements comments and deliveries to improve your relationship with your customers utilize the builtin analytic capabilities to your full advantage to generate predictive reports covering organisation development the status of competitors or markets and brand reputation enable salesforce integration with preexisting enterprise systems and applications that will be developed to improve overall business performance best practices decoded  develop a complete plan  it is a nobrainer that without a wellthought plan success is not possible it is in your best interest to have a wellthoughtout strategy outlining how you intend to build and roll out your solution before starting the salesforce development process planning allows you to understand where you are in the process where you want to get to in the future and what steps you need to take to get there uncover the finer nuances of salesforce architecture  after establishing a road map it is an excellent idea to understand the salesforce architecture which includes the various layers the interactions between them the different components apis and databases in addition it is essential to have a solid understanding of the distinctions between the fundamental capabilities of the platform and the prepackaged applications that run on it as well as the communication and data flow between the various servers explore and exploit the test environment  although salesforce does provide the option of developing modules and customising features in a live environment it is recommended that the sandbox be used for development because it will not impact the performance of your system you can use the developer sandbox to create new features the partial sandbox to determine how the development process might affect your system or the full sandbox to deploy customisations and determine how they will operate within your system ensure consistency in coding  because it is only natural to have multiple developers working on your salesforce development project simultaneously adhering to a consistent coding style can help ease the development process significantly adhering to standard coding conventions can not only pave the way for establishing legal guidelines but can also add consistency ensuring that all team members reach the same conclusions regarding standards and patterns and adhere to the same principles utilise salesforce s builtin trigger frameworks  the use of trigger frameworks can help significantly reduce the amount of time and effort spent developing software which is especially helpful as your requirements expand they make it possible to remove logic and ensure consistency across the platform making unit testing integrating changes and maintenance much more straightforward once standardised you can be sure that all your triggers work consistently giving you complete control over the order in which operations are carried out embrace a modular approach to your salesforce development  the ability to develop functions or modules in isolation from one another is one of the most significant benefits offered by salesforce development you can design the system in such a way that its various functions can be optimised independently if you take a modular approach and do so this is possible because the failure of one part will not influence the other processes deploy appropriate tools  in addition to selecting the appropriate features it is also essential to use the proper tools for development this will allow you to begin developing and testing your salesforce platform as soon as possible conduct a thorough analysis of the tools at your disposal considering the requirements you have specified and select the ones that will assist you in efficiently meeting your needs refrain from dml soql queries  there will be times when you want to insert update multiple records simultaneously and query sets of documents based on specific contexts while iterating through the forms using the loop you might feel tempted to perform a query or dml operation on these records after all what s the worst that could happen well quite a lot both soql and dml are some of the most expensive operations that can be carried out within salesforce apex as a result governor limits for both processes are highly stringent therefore placing them in a loop is a recipe for disaster because we can quickly and unknowingly reach these limits particularly when triggers are involved in the process when it comes to dml statements we have the option of moving those statements outside of the loop in their place we can add the records we want to perform those operations on to a list within the circle and then run the dml statement on the list rather than the records themselves this is the most prudent course of action to take in many circumstances moving soql to a position outside a loop can be more challenging because the decision depends heavily on the context only hardcode ids when needed  when ids are hardcoded they may function correctly and without incident when they are being developed however as soon as our code is migrated into production those ids will no longer reference the appropriate record this is especially true for record types that were initially developed in a sandbox environment and later transferred into a production environment consider the opposite scenario if we create a sandbox from production our hardcoded identifiers will no longer point to the appropriate records if we want to use record types we can instead make references to them using their developer name which will remain the same across all environments suppose the id we want to use is associated with a particular record in that case we can store this id within our custom metadata and retrieve the value during runtime this allows the developers to freely alter the value depending on the environment in which the code is being written or the requirements imposed on us there is only one situation in which we are not required to adhere to either of the two methods described above and that is when we are explicitly referencing the master record type this record type is the default and is consistent across all instances on the other hand the fact that it is static right now does not guarantee that it will remain so in the future consequently we ought to store it probably also in custom metadata if doing so is necessary to be on the safe side declare openly the existence of a sharing model  when we start writing brandnew code one of the very first things we should do is declare our sharing model this is one of the most important things to do when we want our code to enforce sharing rules we must always advise that but when we want it to bypass record access we must always say that it is not sharing developers often find themselves skipping this step declaring our sharing model explicitly enables us to communicate our goals to anyone else who may work on our code in the future this includes anyone who may work on our code if we omit this it will make it more difficult for them to comprehend what is going on within the code on the other hand if we include it they will have a much easier time understanding it you can safely omit only if your code does not perform any dml or queries this is the only time it is safe to do so however if this is possible or if you want to play it safe it is wise to declare the sharing model anyway specifying it as inherited to allow a consumer of your course to control the model instead declaring the model in this manner will enable you to play it safe use only one trigger per single object type  the principle of using only a single trigger for each object is ingrained in the minds of many programmers this is because the focus is both simple to remember and straightforward to put into practice but why is this relatively straightforward best practice such a significant one to adhere to the order in which individual triggers are executed cannot be guaranteed when multiple stimuli are defined on a single object when a record is saved and the triggers are invoked the order in which the individual triggers are executed is utterly arbitrary for all intents and purposes it s not uncommon for the individual actions that make up a trigger to have their order of priority or they might have a condition that requires an initial step to have been finished before they can proceed eg assigning a parent lookup which is then expected to be populated in the following action an entirely random trigger order also introduces randomness into our code this randomness makes it more difficult to debug and develop code because there is always some element of randomness present and we cannot accurately replicate scenarios test multiple scenarios  when it comes to testing having a high number of lines covered by tests is a good goal but it does not tell the whole story salesforce mandates to have at least 75 code coverage whenever you wish to deploy apex code into production you are writing tests solely to meet the code coverage requirement demonstrating that your code has been executed and doesn t provide any value other than showing that in a particular scenario it might work or might not when deployed in realtime when writing our tests we should worry less about code coverage and more about covering different use cases for our code this will ensure that we protect the scenarios in which the code is being executed this is accomplished by writing multiple test methods some of which may be testing the same and not generating additional covered lines each test method executes our code by a distinct scenario allowing us to test the system effectively one possible application would be to cover both positive and negative test cases in a trigger after the tests run the next step is to verify that the code has successfully carried out the intended action if it hasn t we want to fail the test manually if the code hasn t successfully acted we want to forget the test manually writing tests for code coverage isn t the only reason to run these kinds of tests they can also serve as an early warning system for problems that may crop up if an administrator adds some new functionality or a different section of code is modified this testing offers much more value than just writing tests for code coverage testing for these scenarios ensures that we are alerted about the issues and can resolve them before they hit production and cause late nights testing for these scenarios also ensures we don t miss any opportunities to save money double check tests  the quality of the salesforce solution you develop is directly proportional to the amount of testing you do you must test the platform s functionality to ensure that it can meet the requirements of your client who will use it daily try every functionality and feature you ve developed to ensure that it functions as intended in any circumstances keep documentation clean and complete  when developing a solution for salesforce it is also a good practice to document everything that programmers are working on this can help avoid any misunderstandings this practice which entails keeping a log of every development effort can assist other administrators and developers in comprehending the advancements that have been made as well as preventing those advancements from being duplicated or altered when they should not be avoid business logic in triggers  when we write triggers placing our logic directly in the trigger becomes very difficult to test and maintain the triggers it would help if you used classes designed to handle our senses these classes can then be easily tested kept and reused these classes are typically referred to by their shorthand name triggerhandlers these triggerhandler classes take the inputs provided by the trigger and then as a final step call the specific courses that hold the business logic we have written they can be as straightforward as updating the handlers to name the new code as we add it or they can be as intricate as utilising things like custom metadata types to allow admins to configure our triggers in various ways however it is a common mistake to put your logic and functionality directly into a triggerhandler or triggerhelper class this can lead to unexpected results it is recommended that separate categories be created for each piece of functionality and that the triggerhandler be the one to invoke these classes if we do not follow this procedure we will very quickly produce code that cannot be maintained this violates the singleresponsibility principle because it causes it to do everything about an object s trigger actions which results in the creation of a god object which is an antipattern suppose an object s trigger is exceptionally straightforward for example it only invokes a single action in that case it may be appropriate to forego a handler class and instead make a direct call to the action invoked by the trigger from within the spur itself however the steps should be written with a handler in mind and migrated to a handler as soon as the complexity of the trigger increases concluding remarks  implementing industry standards and best practices is essential to any solution provider s core capabilities for excellent results out of your salesforce development initiatives it will be beneficial to understand the why and the what of the development

management and a strategic vision partnering with experienced it consultants facilitates the process an adaptive enterprise architecture is the key for efficiency agility and innovation empowering businesses to meet customer demands and stay competitive by embracing this approach organizations can streamline operations enhance collaboration create value for all stakeholders and achieve sustainable growth introduction in today s dynamic business environment the ability to quickly deploy new capabilities is a competitive necessity however organizations often fail to seize opportunities due to the perceived cost and risk of modernizing the systems that enable business capabilities information systems and technology platforms exist for a relatively simple set of reasons to enable business operations and facilitate decisionmaking as the organization pursues evolving goals and opportunities technology leaders must have a seat at the organization s strategy table and allow for the inevitable changes of plan so that when requirements change the business technology they manage is an enabler not an impediment internal and external forces of change are permanent and pervasive enterprise architecture sounds like something slowmoving but today s enterprise architects must design with continuous change in mind technological forces of change in 1965 gordon moore suggested the number of transistors on a typical computer chip would roughly double about every two years although we do not measure our progress in transistors per chip moore s hypothesis has been validated in real life in the ensuing 60 years advances in computational capabilities have given mainstream businesses the ability to solve computational and information management problems at a scale that would have been considered farfetched a generation ago in the first quarter of the 21st century we have seen an explosion of data beyond a tsunami more like a big bang the good news is data management and processing capabilities have kept pace allowing us to do interesting and useful things with all that data enabling more efficient operations and facilitating informed decisionmaking combined with the internet massive computing power and vast pools of information have created the real potential of a global data fabric and data marketplace based on broadly adopted cloud computing and democratized artificial intelligence nobody talks about data processing anymore the daily conversations about automating operational and accounting processes to gain efficiency and reduce costs are a dim memory today we talk about information as a strategic asset and the ability to make the best use of it as a strategic capability in about ten years cloud computing has outgrown mere widespread adoption it is now a standard feature of almost all enterprises information technology architecture at the same time artificial intelligence is advancing so rapidly that it has drawn the attention of ethicists and legislators while they are thinking about the responsible use of ai completely novel applications as well as spot solutions built into existing solutions appear in the marketplace almost daily the rapid pace of technological advancements requires businesses to constantly innovate and leverage new capabilities inflexible architectures and solutions hinder the adoption of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence machine learning and the internet of things these technologies have the potential to revolutionize operations drive efficiency and unlock valuable insights from data competitive forces of change considering technological advances competition has in no corner become less intense competitors are becoming more numerous diverse and global in some markets the competition is consolidating raising the barrier to entry and making life increasingly difficult for independent players simultaneously agile startups enter the market every day with new business models and gamechanging technologies challenging established firms to rethink the status quo and in some cases to adapt or perish in both mature and emerging markets architectural rigidity can lead to falling behind while competitors who have successfully integrated these technologies into their workflows customer experiences and decisionmaking processes an adaptive it architecture that enables businesses to harness the power of emerging technologies and is a competitive necessity the ability to seamlessly integrate innovative tools and systems empowers organizations to further automate processes optimize resource allocation and deliver personalized experiences to customers the ability to quickly respond to market changes customer demands and disruptive forces is essential for sustained success in today s digital landscape the hybridization of everything thinking about the most successful organizations and the most successful people in them we can observe a trend the hybridization of everything since the mid1990s hybridization has been seen as a necessity in organizations that want to do more better faster and cheaper in the old organizations the organizing principle was specialization discrete departments separate functions independent projects in the new organizations it s hybridization interdepartmental meetings crossfunctional teams integrated systems enterprise architectures must support pervasive hybridization hybrid technology the hybrid cloud was one of the early materializations of this idea it meant some of our stuff is on premises and some of it in the cloud today hybrid solutions take many forms combining the benefits of disparate technologies for a single missionspecific purpose information processing itself is becoming hybridized with traditional deterministic algorithms answering traditional questions alongside artificial intelligence which can suggest new questions aienhanced solutions are becoming commonplace appearing in everything from office productivity suites to facial recognition solutions for border security to large computational problems in climate science economics and more the analog world in which we live is increasingly digitized by hybrid analogdigital devices that populate the internet of things from talking and listening appliances to home security systems that allow you to close your garage door from the other side of the planet adaptive enterprise architectures exploit hybrid technologies both as a preference for the capabilities or adaptive technologies and as a response to the need to design for efficiency and responsiveness in today s dynamic and competitive environment the demand for modernization several forces of change drive the demand for application modernization among them are  technical obsolescence of the infrastructure  the age of technology itself and the aging of the workforce having the skills to support it can make a compelling case for replacement support gets more expensive and harder to find almost daily also known as technical debt like most forms of debt it gets more expensive with the passage of time demand for a modern user experience  some internal users of older information systems are often productive and happy doing their job by pressing f2 twice typing something and then pressing enter twice external users and most internal users expect a modern experience not designed for flexibility  legacy applications were not based on today s serviceoriented design patterns and other innately adaptive frameworks even when they can be adapted to modern requirements changes to monolithic applications can require extensive and widespread testing enterprise architecture and the business of it  technology portfolio management and technology business management are closely related to enterprise architecture some consider them a discipline within enterprise architecture they provide it management frameworks that implement a standard it spending taxonomy and processenablement catalog having a standard way to categorize it costs technologies resources applications and services enables organizations to disaggregate it spending into smaller consistent categories to provide the leadership team with a more accurate and detailed understanding of their organization s it costs this disciplined and businesslike approach to managing it enables enterprise architects to identify duplicate spending and redundant capabilities to make better informed decisions regarding future investments organizations seeking to reduce it sprawl or to rationalize their portfolio can develop a roadmap to deal with overspending and redundancy fully redundant applications can be retired other applications can be designated for migration to more costeffective implementations some applications can be left alone those with the greatest potential for business value can be targeted for further investment as savings are achieved in other areas the adaptive enterprise architecture response  the core purpose of enterprise architecture is to apply holistic technology concepts to the enablement of business processes in furtherance of the organization s mission an adaptive enterprise architecture perspective requires that flexibility and adaptability without security compromises are highly valued criteria for enterprise information technology decisionmaking further holistic enterprise architecture thinking encompasses the people and processes that plan deploy and operate information technology those people responsible for the architecture require a fulsome appreciation of the relationships between business goals operational processes to make informed decisions about information management systems and technology foundations an adaptive enterprise architecture strategy prioritizes pragmatism and flexibility not just in reaction to changing business needs but in anticipation of them threats  the increasing number and sophistication of bad actors means changes the question from will i be attacked to when will i be attacked cyber security defenses must be incorporated into your technology blueprint with holistic architectural thinking every building block must be imagined as an element of the attack surface visible to bad actors an inflexible it architecture based on monolithic systems poses a variety of related security and compliance risks older systems may lack the robust security measures needed to withstand advanced threats making them vulnerable to cyber threats and data breaches an adaptivityfocused architecture having by nature a more complex attack surface poses a different of problems in all cases a holistic architectural approach based on zero trust principles and technologies like softwaredefined networks and advanced vulnerability detection along with a securityaware organizational culture create a robust cyber immune system a strong perimeter defense is no longer good enough unless your systems are completely disconnected from the outside world a bad actor will eventually penetrate even the strongest barriers a holistic architecture incorporating zerotrust principles prevents free movement within your environment once that bad actor penetrates the perimeter organizations must ensure that their it architecture can adapt and withstand evolving security challenges noncompliance with industry regulations can result in substantial financial penalties and reputational damage adaptive it architecture on the other hand allows for timely updates and enhancements to address emerging security and compliance requirements providing organizations with peace of mind and a competitive advantage the adaptive enterprise architecture journey an approach define business objectives  the organization must articulate a strategy and business objectives growth targets and customercentric goals align it strategies with these objectives to ensure that technology investments are aligned with business priorities engage key stakeholders from both it and business units to gain a comprehensive understanding of the organization s strategic direction the enterprise architecture function guides the evolution of the it ecosystem to achieve and maintain alignment with organizational goals identify the key areas where adaptive architecture can drive value such as improving customer experience enhancing operational efficiency reducing costs or enabling new revenue streams by aligning your it strategy with your business goals you can ensure that your adaptive architecture initiatives have a meaningful impact on your organization s success assess the current it landscape  every passionate enterprise architect would love an opportunity to start with a clean sheet of paper they rarely get one instead they begin by conducting a thorough assessment of the existing it infrastructure systems and applications identify the strengths and weaknesses of your current architecture using established frameworks for assessing architectural health to identify areas that hinder flexibility scalability and integration as well as apparent redundancies and potential areas of overspending this assessment will provide valuable insights into the specific challenges your organization faces and help define the goals and objectives of your adaptive architecture develop a future state vision  every good plan begins with the end in mind choose a foundation although adaptivity is the goal discussed here stability is essential for effective support of business operations some longterm decisionmaking is unavoidable the ability to swap components redesign integrations and so on is not a reason to avoid making big decisions about the core infrastructure and foundational technologies design a sound foundation that innately supports swappable and scalable components you might want to paint the house a new color every spring you will probably need to update the furniture appliances from time to time or even change the layout of the interior spaces but build the house on a solid longlasting foundation develop a roadmap  create a comprehensive roadmap that outlines the steps milestones and timelines for transitioning to an adaptive it architecture don t change everything at once segment the journey into manageable phases prioritizing areas of critical need or areas that can provide immediate value consider the dependencies and interdependencies between different systems and processes inflight and planned projects costs and value and plan for effective change management to ensure a smooth transition and minimal disruption to ongoing operations don t set the roadmap in stone adaptivity involves continuous change in response to forces that are often unforeseen it s true that every wellmanaged program needs a roadmap but in a future adaptive world there will be fewer roadmaps and more dynamic routing continuously monitor evolve and adapt  establish a framework for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of adaptive it architecture regularly review performance metrics customer feedback and industry trends to identify areas for improvement and adapt strategies accordingly embrace a culture of continuous improvement and be open to feedback and suggestions from employees and customers an adaptive it architecture is not a onetime implementation but an ongoing process of evolution and iteration continuously evaluate the effectiveness of your architecture gather feedback from users and adapt as needed embrace an agile mindset that embraces change and allows for iterative improvements regularly assess the alignment of your it architecture with business goals and adjust strategies accordingly collaborate with technology partners  engage with technology partners and vendors who can provide expertise solutions and support for your adaptive it architecture journey leverage their knowledge and experience to accelerate implementation five reasons to pursue adaptive architecture enhanced scalability and agility  in a rapidly changing business environment scalability and agility are essential for organizations to respond quickly to market demands and seize new opportunities adaptive it architecture provides the flexibility to scale resources up or down as needed accommodating fluctuating workloads and business requirements this scalability enables businesses to handle increased customer demands seasonal peaks or sudden growth without disruptions or resource constraints additionally adaptive architecture allows for agile development and deployment of new applications and services enabling businesses to stay ahead of the competition by rapidly delivering innovative solutions improved integration and interoperability  in today s interconnected business landscape integration and interoperability are critical for seamless data exchange and collaboration across systems departments and external partners an adaptive it architecture facilitates smooth integration of disparate systems and applications enabling efficient data flow and realtime information sharing by breaking down silos and promoting interoperability businesses can optimize their operations streamline workflows and enhance productivity this integration also paves the way for future growth and expansion as businesses can easily incorporate new technologies platforms and partnerships into their ecosystem cost efficiency and resource optimization  while transitioning to adaptive it architecture requires initial investments it can result in longterm cost savings and resource optimization outdated systems often require extensive maintenance support and upgrades leading to high operational costs in contrast adaptive architecture enables businesses to adopt a more modular and scalable approach allowing them to optimize resource allocation and reduce unnecessary expenses cloudbased solutions for example eliminate the need for onpremises infrastructure reducing hardware and maintenance costs additionally an adaptive architecture allows businesses to leverage automation and selfservice capabilities freeing up it resources for more strategic initiatives and reducing labor costs enhanced business continuity and resilience  an adaptive it architecture provides organizations with the necessary tools to enhance business continuity and resilience in the face of disruptions or unforeseen events traditional architectures with single points of failure or limited redundancy are susceptible to downtime and data loss by leveraging cloud technologies virtualization and distributed systems businesses can ensure data redundancy implement robust disaster recovery strategies and achieve high availability this enables businesses to minimize downtime protect critical data and quickly recover from disruptions safeguarding their operations and reputation compliance and security  in an era where data privacy and security are paramount an adaptive it architecture offers significant advantages in terms of compliance and data protection regulations such as the general data protection regulation gdpr and industryspecific requirements impose strict guidelines on how businesses handle and secure sensitive data an adaptive architecture enables organizations to implement advanced security measures such as encryption access controls and audit trails to protect data throughout their lifecycle furthermore the ability to quickly update and patch systems ensures

doesn t it  from the moment we are born we are confronted by risks we survive from birth because someone is managing risks to protect us in business we have audit departments and others who assess risks and we engage in supporting risk assessments one of the annual rights of passage for any business and information technology group is participating in the annual risk assessment process and the production of the annual risk report as cybersecurity professionals and business leaders we may even present the results of our risk assessment to the company s board of directors audit committee a significant amount of time effort thought and angst goes into creating these reports and presentations we even become experts at preparing and interpreting classic management consulting 9x or 3 3 frameworks to map risks against impacts and probability you may even use more sophisticated frameworks each of our traditional risk assessment frameworks ask us to identify risks determine the potential impact of an identified risk and also to assess a risk s potential to occur or probability of occurrence using these graphical frameworks we then plot individual risk and or categories of risk into an assessment box which labels a risk as low medium or high today however the infusion of information technology into every aspect of our business the interconnectedness of our business operations with hyperconnected suppliers distributors customers and layers of third and fourth parties spanning the world has massively increased the business cyber risks we face i believe that the ways we have assessed risks to our business in the past are no longer adequate to address the complex nature of the web of risks we now face simple low medium and highrisk assessments no longer suffice to inform our business leaders and board members about the true nature of cyber driven risks systemic digital risk in complex digital environments systemic risk is the threat that component failure in a complex system will cascade and jeopardize the much larger system systemic risk is inherent in all modern digital business environments systemic risk has become more prevalent as digital disruption and transformation advance throughout every aspect of business planning and operations as well as in every aspect of society the ability of organizations to create capture and preserve value in rapidly changing digital economic systems makes understanding systemic digital risk a priority for all business leaders and boardroom members there are eight digital domains that work together across complex digital systems to produce and preserve business value data information architecture risk communications emerging technology cybersecurity third parties it operations regulations these eight domains enable complex digital businesses they work in integrated relationships of people processes and digital systems to produce and preserve value in traditional risk assessments we would identify risks within each of these domains without necessarily fully appreciating the potential for individual domain risks to directly impact other domains systemic risk in complex digital businesses is primarily caused by five elements which impact these domains these five key systemic risk causes are replaceability interconnectedness size complexity cross or

contagion on a massive scale replaceability  how rare irreplaceable and important is a component within a complex digital system critical hard to replace components create significant risk and brittleness in complex systems the more dependent a digital system is on a component and the harder it is to replace or bring back to operational use if it fails the greater the level of risk to the larger system interconnectedness  our digital systems and business processes have never been more interconnected than they are now complex digital systems are highly connected both internally and externally the more interconnection points across a system both inbound and outbound the greater the risk that a failure can spread and cascade this is the highest systemic risk trigger for contagion risk in the event of cybersecurity attacks allowing failures to spread and cascade size  size impacts total exposure across complex digital systems size factors include size of the data universe enabled by a digital system number of endusers number of third and fourth parties number of interconnect digital systems number of business entities involved and providing digital systems in extended

question  do you and your business have the ability to anticipate prepare for and adapt to changing conditions to withstand respond to and recover from a cyber business disruption  i will begin this series of posts with a quote from a recent an opinion article published in the washington post on february 14 2024   at this moment the united states faces escalating threats posed by china russia iran foreign cartels sophisticated hackers wmd proliferators spies terrorists and more  gen paul m nakasone article  i was head of the nsa in a world of threats this is my biggest worry by paul m nakasone february 14 2024 published in the washington post general paul m nakasone was commander of the us cyber command director of the national security agency and chief of the central security service until february 2nd 2024 gen nakasone goes on in his article to speak about what remains his biggest worry concerning these continuing and escalating threats he worries that we  make ourselves blind to external threats  by not sharing and connecting the dots of knowledge and intelligence we have available to prevent and block attacks he continues to share his views on how we need to continue to work across and with all aspects of government technology companies businesses and suppliers to businesses and government whose services are increasingly being exploited by terrorists and other bad actors your business is under attack every day  gen nakasone goes on in his article to speak very specifically about the various challenges and aspects of sharing risk and intelligence information across us intelligence agencies his perspectives remind me of the challenges of engaging in risk and threat dialogs within a business as a security officer you are acutely aware of risks and threats to your business yet in the crush of business as usual you may not or do not have the attention of your leadership peers concerning the knowledge and intelligence you possess concerning the risk and threats your business faces it has been my experience that my greatest challenge has always been keeping the attention of my peers focused on the things that would harm our business i am not speaking about the mundane operational tasks and activities of cybersecurity i am speaking about the real risks  high impact high probability risks  the multiplicative effects of low impact high probability risks  and actual unfolding attacks why is this such a challenge we are bombarded with bad news from all corners of online and traditional news and media every day with most of the online news being sensationalized for clicks it is hard for our peers to avoid being influenced into not knowing what to pay attention to or not to pay attention to so why should they pay attention to you let s use an example  february 7 2024 cybersecurity infrastructure security agency advisory prc statesponsored actors compromise and maintain persistent access to us critical infrastructure alert code aa24038a the us authoring agencies have confirmed that volt typhoon has compromised the it environments of multiple critical infrastructure organizations primarily in communications   energy   transportation systems  and water and wastewater systems sectors  in the continental and noncontinental united states and its territories including guam volt typhoon s choice of targets and pattern of behavior is not consistent with traditional cyber espionage or intelligence gathering operations and the us authoring agencies assess with high confidence that volt typhoon actors are prepositioning themselves on it networks to enable lateral movement to ot assets to disrupt functions the us authoring agencies are concerned about the potential for these actors to use their network access for disruptive effects in the event of potential geopolitical tensions and or military conflicts this is not fake news this is real the implications of this are staggering china volt typhoon is already prepositioned inside these critical infrastructure complex digital systems this is not about defending against an attack the attack has already happened you may look at the list of critical infrastructure sectors above and say to yourself that you are not in those business sectors rest assured though that you will be dramatically impacted by any attack in any of these sectors i pray that the organizations penetrated and impacted are taking all appropriate actions to deal with this now to make my closing point today this amazing cisa alert was in the major news feeds for one day it was reported and reposted by many on linkedin for a second day i have seen no other posts after that no continuing dialog no follow up news articles creeping normality strikes again we have become so used to hearing about cybersecurity threats breaches data loss etc that the importance of such risk and threat intelligence is glossed over this example forces me to ask this question  has any senior leadership executive in your organization reached out to ask you about this cisa advisory alert code aa24038a  or have you reached out to any senior leadership executive in your organization to advise them about the ramification of this cisa advisory alert code aa24038a to your organization  i am not in any way suggesting that you need to take any specific action at or within your business because of this cisa advisory alert only you would know if you should be communicating with your senior leadership about this in the words of gen nakasone if you should be in dialog with your senior leadership about this cybersecurity intelligence  failure to do so would be a selfinflicted wound of the highest order    joseph f norton is a risk security and crisis management professional he is a

it is literally the superhighway runway from which cybersecurity attacks are launched now that i have your attention let me return to my primary question for you last month  do you and your business have the ability to anticipate prepare for and adapt to changing conditions to withstand respond to and recover from a cyber business disruption  we often think of business disruptions as specific to our own company firm or organization we seldom include risk assessments for the world at large this has perplexed me for years the reason this has perplexed me is our dependence upon the internet as the backbone of our business operations no local regional or global business operates today without relying upon the ubiquitous digital communication connectivity of the internet let me update and add to this post my question concerning your ability to withstand respond to and recover from a cyber business disruption to  do you and your business have the ability to anticipate prepare for and adapt to changing conditions to withstand respond to and recover from any disruption to your access or use of the internet  or more bluntly  can you conduct business operations without the internet  i have been acutely aware of the risks of operating commercial business operations with a reliance on the use of the public internet since the 1990 s it is pervasively risky as kevin roose recently wrote in his nytimes article  did one guy just stop a huge cyberattack  the internet as anyone who works deep in its trenches will tell you is not a smooth welloiled machine the internet as anyone who works deep in its trenches will tell you is not a smooth welloiled machine it s a messy patchwork that has been assembled over decades and is held together with the digital equivalent of scotch tape and bubble gum much of it relies on opensource software that is thanklessly maintained by a small army of volunteer programmers who fix the bugs patch the holes and ensure the whole rickety contraption which is responsible for trillions of dollars in global gdp keeps chugging along in this article kevin roose goes on to describe the nature of the internet and world wide web and how it is a globally distributed network comprising many voluntarily interconnected autonomous networks there is no central governing body there is no central maintenance organization each component network sets and enforces its own policies without coordination with the whole yes the internet engineering task force ietf oversees the internet protocols and the internet society that oversees the ietf and the internet consortium for assigned names and numbers icann controls the dns hierarchy and the allocation of internet protocol ip addresses yes the larger internet service providers isps own and provide the largest parts of the internet infrastructure but there are thousands of isps around the world note ibis world research indicates that there are 27978 global isp businesses as of 2024 and the ietf internet society and icann do not manage the physical manifestation of the internet the internet backbone is physically owned by the various commercial educational government and military entities around the world who implement their networks and interconnections the internet is the most complex of digital environments representing the highest level of systemic digital risk which your business organization faces every day from a security perspective the public internet and your digital communication connections to it are the weakest cybersecurity component of your business operations it is literally the superhighway runway from which cybersecurity attacks are launched this is why the foundations of cybersecurity and your awareness and specific knowledge of your organization s cyber insecurity is so important the yang of the internet is that it enables global digital commerce the yin of the internet is that it enables and facilitates cybersecurity attacks closing question for today  when you brief your senior executive leadership team and boad of directors about cybersecurity risk do you highlight that the internet and your digital connections to it are the weakest

cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency defines secure by design to mean that technology products are built in a way that reasonably protects against malicious cyber actors successfully gaining access to devices data and connected infrastructure this is a very concise statement with a focus on the design of technologybased systems in the real and practical world we live in focusing only on the security design aspects of complex digital systems or the components that complex digital systems are made of will ensure that your digital business world will be insecure  security focusing only on design aspects of complex systems will ensure cyber insecurity my personal views about security by design are well known by those who have worked with me or have been my clients throughout my career our digital systems do not stand alone as technology systems only as soon as we deploy technology the technology enters the realm of becoming a system interconnecting and interacting with other systems with which our business operates these business systems are comprised of benevolent technology people and processes interconnecting our business with our customers and suppliers as well as the shared open systems we use such as the world wide web and the internet unfortunately bad actors also use the open and shared internet and world wide web systems with the sole purpose to compromise our business operations so focusing only on the secure design of technology products is not enough to secure our businesses by design focusing only on the secure design of technology products is not enough to secure our businesses by design  securing our business by design requires hyperattentiveness to the security of the complex digital systems environment of technology data processes and people by the very nature of how complex digital systems work security by design requires that all aspects of security design and operations work in concert continually any gaps mistakes or lack of attentiveness by those who use support or operate our systems including those responsible for oversight and assurance will guarantee a cybersecurity compromise security by

processing systems leaving doctors and other providers of medical care pharmacies rehabilitation facilities etc without the ability to obtain insurance approval for patient services and thus not receive payment for medical services was a failure of the people process technology aspects of security by design it has been reported that an absence of multifactor authentication reportedly left a remote access application exposed the actual bad actor access has been confirmed to have occurred using compromised user credentials via the remote access application but i ask is this the true or root failure in this incident  is the lack of twofactor authentication the root cause of the change in health care cyber attack  from my perspective the root cause of this cybersecurity failure is found in the process people domain of security by design this is a classic failure of people not utilizing audit controls processes and or using the appropriate process but not paying attention to the audit controls information the process identified indeed change health care is a relatively recent acquisition of optum which is a subsidiary of united health care prior audits have reportedly highlighted the lack of twofactor authentication at change health care but this information it seems was not acted upon this was highlighted by andrew witty ceo of united health group who testified at a us senate finance committee hearing examining cyberattacks on health care and the change healthcare attack on may 1 2024 the cyberattack has become the costliest in us history healthcare financial

the company and told its technology was validated tested and certified before a faulty update triggered a global it outage  we got a taste of what a global cyberattack would look like  ian thorntontrump ciso at cyjax has commented we learned a valuable lesson about the fragility of our infrastructure thorntontrump said  we also learned how dangerous we got a taste of what a global cyberattack would look like  i feel like we are at one of those inflection moments as reported by reach chase difeliciantonio in the san franciso chronicle  crowdstrike s widespread deployment across industry and government itself reflect a kind of critical security flaw said professor ahmed banafa at san jose state university who teaches courses on computer networking operating systems and cybersecurity friday s incident appears to have been human error but what if this had been done intentionally he said  if you can bring millions of computers down that is a single point of failure banafa added i think microsoft is really going to think about their relationship with crowdstrike given what happened today  global it supply chain implications and impacts interros a supply chain risk intelligence company in their crowdstrike outage analysis reports  crowdstrike was involved in a global it outage that has highlighted the vulnerability of interconnected global supply chains the outage impacted 674620 direct customer relationships of crowdstrike and microsoft and over 49 million indirectly  according to interros data while the us was the most affected country with 41 of impacted entities the disruption was also felt at major ports and air freight hubs in europe and asia ports from new york to los angeles and rotterdam reported temporary shutdowns while air freight suffered the hardest blow with thousands of flights grounded or delayed the outage exacerbates existing supply chain challenges amid rising global demand and freight prices highlighting the potential longterm implications for global trade and finance interros analyzed the extended supply chains of both crowdstrike and microsoft whose microsoft 365 systems were disrupted as part of a crowdstrike update leading to outages for microsoft users across the world when examining the direct customer relationships tier 1 of both microsoft and crowdstrike interros was able to identify 674620 customer relationships  when expanding the scope of impact to include the customers of microsoft and crowdstrike s customers tier 2 the number of customer relationships identified by interros data grows to over 28 million and when going one step further tier 3 that figure to over 49 million customer relationships root cause  there is ample reporting by crowdstrike and the media as to the root cause of this cyber event being a bug failure in crowdstrike s automated software testing which did not catch the software bug in their channel file 291 software update to their falcon end point threat data file detection and response endpoint device software  really   a more discerning view should be asking these questions of crowdstrike as a prime top tier global supplier of cyber security services why do you and did you push out a global patch to all your customers at the exact same instant why did you not test your patch on target safe zone environments prior to pushing it out why did you not push this update patch out to you customers incrementally as a best practice to minimize the potential impacts in the event of such a failure as this what are and where were your governance and controls for software quality test and assurance a more discerning view should be asking these questions of customers of crowdstrike as a customer of crowdstrike why do you allow a third party to autopush a patch directly onto your production operations servers why do you not test third party software patches in a safe zone prior to widespread software update patch deployment what are and where were your governance and controls for software quality test and assurance  security focusing only on design aspects of complex systems will ensure cyber insecurity in my last post i commented that digital systems do not stand alone as technology systems only as soon as we deploy technology the technology enters the realm of becoming a system interconnecting and interacting with other systems with which our business operates these systems and interconnections extend throughout our organizations as well as throughout out our ter 1 extended customer and supplier interconnections our tier 2 extended

design  cyber events of minor and or catastrophic consequences can also be triggered by nonbad actors from anywhere within our extended customer and supplier chains the very nature of the complex interconnections of digital systems mandates that security by design requires that all aspects of security design and operations work in concert continually across all tiers of our organization

complexity of systems supporting business operations the complicating factors of our reliance on the internet for business communications and commerce the extended risk and value chain of multiple layers of suppliers and customers engaged with our businesses and the roles and methods of managing information security management in large and small interconnected businesses today i am going to focus narrowly on the role of the chief information security officer ciso  i have been engaged in information technology for enough years to have witnessed the birth of the role of the chief information security officer in the early days of my career we did not have such a role in an it organization we had roles for security managers reporting to the chief information officer cio or chief technology officer cto and even lower in the hierarchy of information technology organizational structures indeed i was once designated security manager for a large aerospace company back in the longago times of the 1980 s in another stage of my career i served as an svp level chief security officer for a large multinational outsourcing firm with multiple cisos and security officers sos reporting to me the reason i am turning to the ciso role today is that i recently read an article which declared that   to put it bluntly the ciso role is dead  quite a striking comment especially if you hold a ciso title in an organization today normally when i include someone else s words in one of my posts i include an attribution to that person as the source or author in this case the article was attributed to an online forum for a for profit company not an individual author and i have chosen not to provide pro bono advertising when i read this comment it really caught my attention  the ciso role is dead  is a strong statement which resonates with what i am seeing and experiencing today in many organizations maybe the ciso role has outlived its purpose or is now facing a need to evolve the threats and risks our businesses face today are at the highest level of systemic digital risk i have experienced in my 45 years in the information technology industry   information technology organizations no longer control all the information technology devices and systems in use in their organizations today maybe it is time for the ciso role to evolve or morph into something new a role which truly addresses the need for a holistic approach to managing systemic information risk inherent in our complex digital systems if so what should this new role look like is it time to break out of the information technology organizational driven focus of information security and elevate a company s focus on and treatment of information security risk should this role be a part of an information technology function or should it be part of a broader approach to managing business risk and reside elsewhere in a business organization  it risk business risk if we accept that all it risk is business risk then we should logically accept that managing information risk should not reside solely within an information technology organization thus i propose that two changes are needed to adequately address the inherent systemic risk in our complex digital systems the first is a new role the second is that the new role should not be placed inside the information technology organization digital risk and resilience officer this role digital risk and resilience officer drro should be part of a business s enterprise risk management erm function and may or may not exist as the only senior role addressing information risk and security i envision that many information technology organizations may elect to maintain a traditional chief information security officer ciso role solely focused internally within the it organization if so i suggest that the role should no longer be called a chief role but rather be titled as an information security officer role as many business organizations already embrace enterprise risk management and have a senior leadership role for a chief risk officer cro i envision that the emerging drro role would report to the chief risk officer and collaborate with both the cro and the it information security officer iso the digital risk and resilience officer role should represent a significant evolution in purpose responsibility and vision for dealing with the threats and systemic risks our businesses now face every day i would encourage you all to think about the potential of a digital risk and resilience officer role and focus as an evolution needed in information security which will be more encompassing and vital to the success of your business s future in my next bog post i will expand on my thoughts concerning a digital risk

is dead  and i closed my last post saying that i would encourage you all to think about the potential of a digital risk and resilience officer role and focus as an evolution needed in information security which will be more encompassing and vital to the success of your business s future some of you who read my last post may have dismissed my comment as out of hand others may have read a bit deeper into my comments and your reaction at least internally were that joe has no clue what he is talking about just maybe one or two of you may have thought about my comments and said to yourself he may be onto something i do not claim to have all the clues but i can assure you that throughout my career i have prided myself in working hard to ensure i had at least half a clue concerning what was going on around me in my professional domain it is a fair bet for me to say again today that  the threats and risks our businesses face today are at the highest level of systemic digital risk i have experienced in my 45 years in the information technology industry   information technology organizations no longer control all the information technology devices and systems in use in their organizations today let me take this one step further   never in the history of modern business operations has there been a risk domain as impactful as information technology information technology and digital business systems are the only risk domain which can bring my company s business operations to a complete standstill in an instant  this is a quote from a discussion i recently had with the head of enterprise risk management for a multibillon dollar business my conversations during the past year with many chief risk officers enterprise risk managers and chief information security officers have all led me to form my opinion that it is time to start thinking about and acting on the notion that the ciso role as we know it today is past its shelf life and it is time to seriously embrace a digital risk and resilience officer role the ciso role as we know it today is past its shelf life it is time to embrace the digital risk and resilience officer role  the traditional ciso role is intended to address the protection of an organization s information technology digital business systems and data from attacks this is often focused on external threats and can also include controls to address internal misuse of information systems and data this is a narrow focus given the widespread use of digital systems data communications and workplace technologies in use throughout businesses their customer chains and supply chains while cybersecurity risk management focuses on cyber threats and recovery of information technology systems it is a focus which rarely addresses the impacts to the rest of a business organization enterprises risk management acknowledges cybersecurity threats and risks but sees these risks through a ciso s eye usually not through the eyes of your business i have found it rare when speaking with erm leaders and chief risk officers to find a fully integrative understanding of the true extent of digital disruption impacts and the need for a business integrative approach to ensure digital resilience when recovering from such business disruptions another impediment to embracing digital resilience a required new core competence is what i call grade position inflation in cybersecurity prior to 1995 i do not think there was any role in business for information technology entitled chief information security officer there were roles in the 1970 s and 1980 s for information technology security and the role of information technology security manager was common steve katz is credited as the first person appointed to a chief information technology officer role by citi bank in 1995 after citi bank suffered a series of successful cyber security attacks by russian hackers in the 1990 s and into the early 2000 s it was common to have an information technology security manager role reporting to a chief information officer or a chief technology officer this role was often filled by a manager or director level position as the frequency of cybersecurity attacks escalated through the 2000 s and business impacts became larger we begin to see the escalation of information technology security managers to higher grade levels there was something darwinian about the escalation of security managers to chief information security managers and further to director and officer roles today it is not uncommon to see ciso roles as vice presidents or senior vice presidents reporting to chief information officers and even to reporting lines directly to business chief executive officers raising the position and salary levels of cisos does not directly translate to significantly improved cybersecurity or digital resilience organization performance in my experience even for cybersecurity and digital resilience is primary driven by organizational culture strong governance professional competence and employing a right role right person approach a very simple equation my arriving at my realization for a digital risk and resilience officer role can be summarized as follows chief risk officer is a fulltime role head of erm is a fulltime role ciso iso role is a fulltime role ciso iso attention to digital risk and resilience is a parttime role digital risk and resilience calls for fulltime attention given the potential for catastrophic business disruption impacts thus digital risk and resilience should be a fulltime role while maintaining the traditional information security officer manger role the ciso iso role is not dead it is time to embrace a new and improved role focused on digital risk and resilience the digital risk and resilience officer role should represent a significant evolution in purpose responsibility and vision for dealing with the threats and systemic risks our businesses now face every day i again encourage you all to think about the potential of a digital risk and resilience officer role and focus as an evolution needed in information security which will be more encompassing and vital to the
