Summary
50 years ago, businesses were paper-native; all processes were executed on paper. As computers and networks rose in popularity, businesses became compute and network-native. This digital transformation led to the rise of the CIO, but IT expenses increased under their leadership. The rise of the internet shifted corporate revenues to online sources, prompting CIOs to cut costs, resulting in less agile IT teams. This spurred engineering teams to create innovative applications unsupported by IT, prompting the birth of CISO. The rising popularity of cloud-native enterprises disrupted the traditional CIO model, leading to various teams managing their own cloud environments.
