I can't think of a named team, but the most memorable was related to purpose. When COVID first hit, I was working as the State Deputy CIO running the State data center, and our unemployment system went under water due to the traffic. Getting a call from the Governor to step in and save the day was the most memorable. Just seeing this question worded this way, is giving me an idea that we need to START naming our Tiger Teams with my current role. Great question!

How often are you dealing with issues of cybersecurity? How do you frame your role in cybersecurity compared to that of a CISO?

We are studying to build new thermoelectric power generators. As the CIO I’d like to influence this process (it has not initiated yet), by unifying operational data in order to: 1) increase the automatization of the plant - and reduce costs; 2) have this data available for further utilization (AI, Analytics, etc). One of the main barriers is that a thermoelectric has several pieces of equipment and each one has different software (and data) stack.

How can we work with this challenge ? Does anyone have any insights/experience with that?
