Exponential IT for Security and Privacy

Shift from reactive to predictive.

Exponential IT is a framework defined by Info-Tech Research Group to instruct IT leaders across all IT domains on how to elevate their maturity and value creation capabilities and close the gap between the exponential progression of technological change and the linear progression of IT's ability to successfully manage that change.

Exponential IT therefore has implications across the many capabilities of our IT Management and Governance model. Info-Tech offers an integrated set of principles across nine domains to help IT leaders change the trajectory of their organizations.
