As digital transformation accelerates, this discussion will focus on how CIO’s make investments by highlighting a couple drivers for decision making. Specifically, cost containment via centralization, automation, virtualization, outsourcing (which is analogous to cloud) and now “containerization”. The intent is to lead the audience to a couple key and somewhat shocking realities.80% of IT Spend is “dead money”, commitments already allocated in the budget.17% of the budget are for investments that reduce the cost of computing and/or improve overall IT performance.Out of every $100 in this scenario, with InfoSec receiving 3% of the budget, IT Security has roughly .60 cents for new investments. Just over .5 % for new tools.The technology focus will be centered on Kubernetes, Containers, Micro-services and Storage. All four components are void of native controls, however, by leveraging the CIO’s investment drivers (80% dead money, and 17% new investments), the intention is to use Kubernetes, Containers and Storage as drivers for InfoSec to engage with DevOps, and participate in achieving IT’s business goals – securely.
