At least Hurd can now focus his energies on getting the vendor's storage business back on track. (See HP Reshuffles More Software, HP Creates New Biz Unit, HP's New Unit Meant to Spur Storage, and HP Forms New Unit.)
With the move to the cloud, CISOs must shift priorities from operating security programs to overseeing (monitoring and auditing) outsourced cybersecurity programs.
