Based in Milan, Edison employs 3,100 employees in more than 10 countries across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East,

These are challenging times for IT departments today. On the one hand, they must deal with increasing threats of cyberattacks on their IT assets, while at the same time having to comply with a myriad of IT regulations and industry standards: PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOX, NIST, ISO 27001, COBIT, GDPR, just to name a few.
Do you know what data you have to unlock within your organisation to get to the information you need? This is the question many Chief Data Officers find themselves asking their Chief Digital Officers on their first encounter. Yes, believe it or not, there is more than one CDO in your organisation, albeit with different but related data challenges.
If your data could be valuable to someone else, it’s likely that someone will try to find the vulnerabilities in your architecture. Before that happens, one of your best lines of defence will be to understand your own IT architecture better than they do.
In July 2020, the IIA - Institute of Internal auditors - published a revised version of its “3 Lines of Defense Model”, dropping the name “Defense” to reflect its now more inclusive nature under a new banner titled The 3 Lines Model. The update to this industry-standard is representative of a common trend in the market that requires a more encompassing and collaborative view of managing risks across an organization.
In the highly disruptive, agile environments that are at the core of most businesses today, enterprise architects should become business partners who facilitate digital business transformation.
