3、 designed as a pulse check on the mood in the industry,to identify common CIO challenges and ambitions,and to serve as a reminder that we are part of an ever-changing ecosystem that evolves each year.Back in 2013 CIOs were dealing with the legacy of the financial crisis,budgets being scrutinised for

4、 immediate ROI as well as long-term value to the business.Since then the CIO has had their fair share of ups and downs,from becoming business transformation experts overnight during COVID to operating on a shoestring in the aftermath.Over the years,weve tracked the strategic influence of the CIO and

5、 just last year we celebrated the meteoric rise of technology leaders,from the basement to the boardroom.This year,that elevated responsibility,combined with emerging technologies,brings a new set of leadership challenges.Disruptive forces,from the rise of AI and advancing security threats,to global

6、 economic uncertainty and the mounting need for climate action,are upending the status quo.Amid so much change,this year were exploring the future face of the CIO,the attitude and actions that define modern technology leaders.Our research among one thousand CIOs across the world,shows that the commu

7、nity is leaning into the changes ahead and rising to the challenges.An overwhelming number are actively grasping the opportunities of AI,taking a leading role in sustainability,and getting on the front foot against fierce new cyber threats.Todays CIO recognises that safeguarding and steering their o

9、lobal economy,increasingly sophisticated security threats and seismic technological advancements have collided to create a complex landscape for any technology leader.As the remit of the CIO becomes even broader and more business-critical,theres a need to balance competing priorities to meet both sh

10、ort and long term business goals;maintaining stability while delivering change.Facing the disruptive forces within the technology arena requires a range of leadership qualities to address the opportunities and threats that the evolving landscape serves up.The future tech leader must hone their uniqu

11、e style,so they can harness the opportunities driven by the disruptive forces at play and leave a lasting legacy.VisionaryGenerative AIs eruption into the public consciousness in 2023 was cause for concern and excitement in equal measure,a reaction mirrored among our CIOs.89%of respondents are alrea

13、y for AI development.This commitment to investment demonstrates just how significant AI could be in reshaping industry and how todays CIOs are putting themselves front and centre in the fourth industrial revolution.HypervigilantThe security threats that have been building over the last decade have r

14、isen exponentially in recent months.The rise of quantum computing and AI,enabling more sophisticated attacks,are playing out for almost every business.A staggering 83%of CIOs reported experiencing a cyber hack in the last year and almost all of those surveyed experienced business damage as a consequ

15、ence.Despite the efforts businesses are putting into safeguarding their operations,less than half of respondents feel completely prepared to handle another major security breach.Technology leadership in todays security environment requires a level of hypervigilance somewhere between intense curiosit

16、y and paranoia.SustainableLast year we highlighted the growing recognition among CIOs of their role in sustainability.This year,the dial has shifted further in the right direction and CIOs are moving from acknowledgement to action.92%of respondents are increasing investment in environmental sustaina

17、bility initiatives and,perhaps more importantly,96%say their function has a voice in the companys overall sustainability planning and target setting.With technology being such a critical enabler of environmental progress,CIOs are leading with consideration,being decisive in the balance between profi

18、t and purpose in delivering sustainable IT for future generations.AdaptiveOne of the biggest challenges for the CIO throughout the year ahead will be balancing priorities.A slow global economy continues to constrain spending but with once in a generation opportunities and fundamental threats on the

19、horizon,CIOs need to identify where their time and resources can deliver the most value and where efficiencies can be sought.Strong technology leadership throughout 2024 requires CIOs to become masters of the balancing act,thinking long term,short term and immediate as well as recognising the import

20、ance of strategically identifying the resources to execute and whether theyre insourced or outsourced.67LogicaLis gLoBaL cio REPoRT 2024LogicaLis gLoBaL cio REPoRT 20247Visionaryleadership in theface of the fourth industrial revolutionThe explosion of next-generation technologies fuelling the fourth

28、quieter revolution While AI dominates the headlines a broader wave of innovations is quietly changing the business landscape.The standout is IoT,which almost every CIO surveyed had invested in.Its applications from enhancing workplace safety,remote monitoring,and asset tracking,have the potential to

29、 deliver huge business benefits.However,75%of respondents cited connectivity infrastructure as a key barrier still to be overcome.According to the research,the advent of Private 5G to provide faster,more 1011LogicaLis gLoBaL cio REPoRT 2024LogicaLis gLoBaL cio REPoRT 2024dependable connectivity is a

31、onary,tech leaders must also acknowledge legitimate complexities.AI is in its infancy and as with all revolutions,the scale of change is likely to create winners as well as losers.Our research found 64%of technology leaders expressed worries about AI threatening their core business propositions,and

32、72%were apprehensive about the challenges of effectively regulating AI use internally.With the use of public generative AI posing a privacy risk this is a valid concern.Prudently,in response,86%have kicked off formal AI policies.As the public face of tech innovations,visionary CIOs must take respons

40、ks.According to our research,a staggering 83%of CIOs reported that their business experienced a cyber-attack within the past year.With the rise of more advanced hacking technologies like quantum computing and AI,attackers have more sophisticated tools at their disposal than ever before.The most comm

41、on types of attacks businesses faced were almost equally distributed among fraud,third party-related compromises,hacktivism and digital defacement,denial of service,data exfiltration,ransomware and cryptojacking.So while the old mainstay of malware is still prevalent,new attack vectors like ransomwa

42、re and cryptojacking also make up a significant portion of cyber incidents today.But regardless of the specific type of attack,the consequences faced by victim companies were similarly severe.Almost all those who experienced cyber-attacks dealt with issues like unscheduled downtime,reputation damage

43、,loss of revenue,and loss of both customer and employee data.Some companies even suffered regulatory fines.Many of these consequences have long-lasting effects and are expensive to recover from.With AI offering criminals the tools to make attacks more precise and automated and quantum computing As C

44、IOs continue spending more time in front of the board,they have to be armed to meet the evolving cybersecurity challenges in the era of AI.Cyber-attacks are moving laterally across the network,and their velocity and sophistication are on the rise.Attackers have become too good at emulating real user
