Roundtable: Modern Strategies for Digital Resilience
On November 22, 2023, The IT Media Group will host an in-person CIO roundtable, “Modern Strategies for Digital Resilience.”
Canadian businesses continue to prioritize digitization to satisfy the needs of their stakeholders and improve operational efficiencies. Over the last decade, most organizations have turned to the public cloud to accomplish their modernization mandates. This approach helped CIOs to realize cloud benefits while addressing the talent shortage to operate in new environments.
While public cloud spending will continue to increase, investment in private cloud is forecasted to expand even faster. Factors driving this shift in focus include workloads and data that must be on-premises, unsustainable cloud cost growth, and modern advancements enabling private cloud. As a result, organizations now realize that a hybrid cloud (a mix of public and private cloud) can be more cost-effective with improved performance.
This roundtable will cover CIO approaches for achieving digital resilience as organizations modernize their cloud strategies. It will help IT executives baseline their experience with peers and validate their concerns and successes across industries. In addition, participants will be encouraged to share practical use cases for solving their challenges.
The roundtable will explore challenges, approaches, and best practices for the following areas:
1. Enhancing the cloud strategy
- Public cloud lessons learned
- Building the business case for a private cloud
- Workload and data placement considerations
- Modern enablers for an on-premises cloud
2. Achieving cyber resilience
- Data risks and exposures
- Data protection essentials
- Fundamentals for recovering from a cyber incident
- Realizing sustainability mandates

The pandemic compelled organizations to focus on their security postures as threats evolved globally. Consequently, CIOs realize they can't address cyberattacks with a "one size fits all" approach. Instead, security strategy is considered a holistic journey where enterprises use tactical measures in combination with a long-term vision to ensure that each initiative provides a building block for a future-ready environment.
