Innovative strategies guarantee security for companies and present solutions to avoid market vulnerabilities
The use of technological solutions has become increasingly common in companies of all sizes, in multiple segments. But at the same time as processes have been optimized and improved by technology, they are increasingly dependent on these innovation tools.
Global crises, such as those caused by the pandemic and the recent conflict in Ukraine, cyber attacks, economic instability and energy supply are just some of the causes that affect the full functioning of the world. With the market becoming ever more demanding, how do you circumvent such upheavals and remain active even in unstable scenarios?
Faced with this challenge, the term digital resilience has been adopted by companies seeking to adapt to possible disruptions. In this article, we will specify what it means to be digitally resilient and show how a solid digital infrastructure is essential for minimizing risks.
What is digital resilience?
The digital transformation has caused profound changes in the corporate world. Once restricted to large corporations, technology has changed the working dynamics of companies of all sizes and segments, in a constant and seemingly infinite flow.
At the same time as presenting itself as an effective solution for improving production processes, technology poses a major challenge. After all, if the entire dynamic is based on technological tools, these need to be fully functional, at the risk of compromising the entire production cycle.
The external factors that pose threats to companies range from global crises to cyber attacks and data leaks. To avoid or minimize possible impacts, companies have made frequent use of digital resilience strategies.
The term is not new, but it has been broadened in the search for solutions in the event of major changes or unforeseen events. More than preventative measures, digital resilience directly involves company planning, such as the choice of technologies to be used and the investments required.
Rethinking digital architecture
Modernizing their digital infrastructure is one of the premises of corporate resilience strategies. In order to become digitally mature, companies have invested in innovative data processing models, thinking both about information security and more effective operation.
The first step is to identify and dispose of the so-called "legacy systems", old and obsolete structures that are still in operation. With constant technological advances, keeping up to date with solutions means improving company dynamics in line with market needs.
Another change concerns digital architecture. A few years ago, data was stored in a single data center, which was vulnerable and lacked flexibility. With all traffic concentrated on the same network, companies faced the risk of unexpected peaks and a lack of scalability.
Today, companies are opting for distributed digital infrastructures. In addition to greater security, decentralization optimizes traffic and the distance data has to travel, which provides more agility and security in the event of unforeseen events.
The decentralization of digital architecture also allows for the possibility of adopting hybrid models. In addition to the traditional data center, cloud services offer rapid adaptation to possible new needs. With this, companies can merge data storage, taking advantage of the best features of each type of infrastructure.
