The term “digital transformation” has been around for so long, and used so vaguely and so often, it’s made the list of corporate buzzwords to forget. Yet, unfortunately, many organizations and individuals still don’t understand what this critical transition really means or more importantly, why it is significant to their security. Digital transformation isn’t a specific technology, but rather an approach to do exactly what the name implies: use digital technologies and data to transform the way business is done. More applicably, digital transformation is about turning that business (and their operations) into software that is both effective and secure. Much like mechanization technologies once drove industrial progress centuries ago, digital transformation is essentially a quest for innovation that alters the traditional development and delivery of products and services—including software—and perhaps even brings a whole new offering to market. From changing how an organization operates internally to drastically shifting cost structures, digital transformation replaces standard ideas with revolutionary ones and drives business forward.
