In this edition of the CIO Newsletter, Mark Settle (author and 7x CIO) and Shobhana Ahluwalia, (CIO of Peloton & former CIO of Uber), discuss two critical parts of any IT department: security and automation.  

Key Takeaways: 

  • Automation has a place in every line of business and in both the back and front-office operations. 
  • With new low/no-code tools, the skill sets for automation have changed. Everyone from business users to developers can automate processes. 
  • Focus on automating the processes that really need it—versus automating everything
  • Encryption protection, access control, retention controls, etc. are table stakes for ensuring data security

“It’s so easy to automate a bad process. That’s the thing you should be cautious about.”
