This panel discussion will focus on the changes being driven in senior level information roles by the emergence of technologies supported big data and data analytics. With more internet connected devices, machines and applications talking to one another than ever before corporations are amassing unprecedented amounts of information. The need to store, sift, and create insight from all of this information has led to massive investments in data centers and the need for C-Suite executives to understand how value will be created from this data; along with the need to secure the data. In this environment, how IT investments will be determined and the decisions for purchasing will be moving away from the technical part of the shop to the front office business leaders. Estimates are that 61% of IT investment decisions will be made or shaped by the lines of business as opposed to the IT department. A transformation is taking place that requires traditional CIO/CISO's to learn to think and act not only in terms of security but also in terms of enabling the business agenda.
