Abstract: Digital technologies have made customers powerful, giving them the option to choose and the means to instantaneously spread their opinions widely. They have become demanding, and they change brands without a blink if their experience with the product or service isn’t what they expect. Brand loyalty, therefore, has taken a backseat and customer experience has emerged supreme. In an IBM survey, 95% of CEOs said enhancing customer experience was top priority for them. Security forms a core foundation for enhancing customer experience! Typically security has been inward looking focusing more on technology vulnerabilities and less on securing business objectives. Securing the digital enterprise entails looking outside-in, to protect customer experience its strategic objective. Also, internally the digital enterprise needs assurance against vulnerabilities introduced by digital technologies like cloud, IoT etc. Bio: Mohan is an acknowledged expert and thought leader in information security.
