When COVID-19 came, ICT department needed to step up by ensuring seamless Work From Home (WFH) and mobile/remote working was integrated into the business processes.
When Cryptocurrency was banned in the country, ICT department of the FinTech companies operating in that space had to look for innovative ways around the ban to ensure business activities weren’t impacted that much.
Now with the recent Twitter ban by the Federal Government, ICT departments of companies who rely heavily on Twitter as a means of sharing insights, updates and information generally about their products also have to be proactive and innovative to look for solutions. Those whose businesses do not really rely on Twitter but whose employees have active Twitter accounts and provide internet to mobile devices also have to battle with the potential threats that might be posed by those utilising various Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). This is where the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) poses some disadvantages.
The 21st Century ICT department must be ever ready and proactive in today’s technology-dependent world.
