Vice President, IT CISO, DXC Technology
DXC Technology went #AllInOnCyber this October as it celebrated Cybersecurity Awareness Month, which is appropriate given the company’s focus on placing cyber at the forefront of its business.
“DXC provides the ideal place to scale a world leading cyber program across 70 countries providing services to the top global companies – including government, critical infrastructure, and other regulated industries,” said Mike Baker, DXC IT CISO. “We are singularly obsessed with protecting our customers’ data while providing a safe and secure experience for the 130,000 women and men at DXC”.
Baker leads with a dynamic style that prioritizes a people-centric approach, a bias for action and results-driving growth. This approach extends across DXC IT services in cyber strategy, design, architecture, identity, cyber risk management and incident response.
The cyber program aligns with an industry-leading zero-trust model, propelling maturity across an ambitious multiyear roadmap focused on artificial intelligence, automation, ubiquitous visibility and data governance and protection. Maintaining this strategic focus allows DXC to foster a risk-aware culture and promote customer and team growth.
“When it comes to CISOs, Mike Baker is the best of the best as he leads his team to ‘get to yes,’” said Kristie Grinnell, DXC CIO. “By keeping cyber at the forefront of our thinking, he ensures the DXC IT cyber team is able to balance business risk, business value, and employee experiences.”
Why Watch
This year, DXC’s IT team will focus on its zero trust strategy to enhance the employee experience and simplify working with DXC. It will move toward a password-less system, make the most of technology investments and partnerships and address industry requirements related to threat collaboration, incident readiness and compliance. The team will also leverage AI to assist with cyber and business operations while managing risk and governance.
With #AllInOnCyber, DXC emphasizes that cybersecurity is not just a one-time effort or an afterthought, but an integral part of the company’s core values and daily operations.
