INTRODUCTION
Emotional intelligence is referred to as an ability which helps in managing and
identifying the emotions of an individual and also the emotions of others (Mikhaylov, Esteve and
Campion, 2018). However, cultural intelligence is considered to be as an ability which is very
prominent in effectively communicating with the various individual who tends to belong to
different culture. This study will focus on clearly identifying the key challenges and issues
related with the IT sector company. Moreover, this study also comprises of reflective statement
which tends to determine the implications of these challenges and issues on the individual.
PART 1
Identifying the key challenges and issues related with the IT sector company.
One of the biggest challenge associated with the IT Company today is to effectively bring
high degree of vital change within the economic culture (Bolton and Foxon, 2015). The
technology has been changing at the speed of light which in turn is considered to be as one of the
most prominent measure to innovate the work. One of the biggest challenge which is associated
with the IT Company is that, the emergence of the new technology leads to high degree
Information Technology Company tends to have high degree of problems associated with the
business which results in weakness in the security controls that authorise information access and
also authenticate users for carry out certain transactions. Information Technology Company
tends to face high degree of risk and cost due to persistent change in the technology (Wachter,
2016). Data proliferation is also one of the most challenging issue which has been faced by the
information Technology Company which eventually results in inconsistency within the
operations of business. Moreover, hardware and software bugs can be considered to be as major
challenge for the information technology company (Uyarra, Shapira, and Harding, 2016). A
technology platform which tends to rely on single physical location or single resources for a
particular telecom provider is highly vulnerable to disasters. The information technology
company may tend to face various degree of information security vulnerabilities which allow
threat to compromise on the information security of the company information as well as
individual information. The law degree of foretold within the system results in high degree of
error and easy crash of the system. The key components associated with information technology
which are expensive and it also results in higher degree of maintainability risk which in turn is
considered to be one of the biggest challenge associated with information technology company.

The lack of integrate information technology and operational process for the maintenance,
improvement and support is considered to be one of the biggest issue within the IT company.
Moreover, insufficient privacy controls which represents liability, compliance and reputation risk
to the company is it’s considered to be one of the biggest challenge associated with the
information technology company. The lack of integrate information technology operation
process for the maintenance, improvement and support is considered to be one of the biggest
issue within the IT company (Grant, 2016). Moreover, insufficient privacy controls which
represents liability, compliance and reputation rest to the company is considered to be as major
issue associated with the information technology company.
Ineffective Information technology software: There are high degree of insufficient and
clear procedures for retaining the data within the information technology software is one of the
challenging task for the company. Moreover, systems and services which tends to provide an
adequate support to the IT company results in failure and erroneous work within the company
(Duvier and et.al., 2018). A poor design technology is very difficult to improve and maintain the
structural integrity of the information technology company which is one of the challenging issue
with IT sector firms. The information technology software which tends to fail or function within
a specified document or requirement of the business is very problematic for the information
technology company.
Data protection and security: Data protection and security is considered to be one of the
biggest critical challenge associated with the information technology company. It is very crucial
for the company to protect private information and data from certain set of external as well as
internal threats. Hackers tends to steal the various important information of the company and
individual which is very challenging for the company. The company must focus on creating a
strong backup plan and appropriate software which helps in ensuring that the data of the
company is protected from the hackers without the threat of getting lost or being hacked (Top 5
Data Protection Challenges, 2020). This helps in ensuring that the data can be recovered and will
be protected within the software of the information technology company. There are high degree
of cyber threats to the business which could be very challenging for the information technology
company. The security professionals within the IT Company must be very extra vigilant in order
to detect such threats. Integration of artificial intelligence protection system within the
information technology company in order to prevent such cyber attacks within organisation.

Integration of various information technology tools and internet of things helps in protecting the
relevant information of the company. Complying with the general data protection regulation
standard helps in ensuring customer privacy and also protection at a global scale. In effective
communication strategy in power network results in higher degree of threat to the IT firms
(Dowler and Lambie-Mumford, 2015). Cost-effective, officiant and secure data protection is
considered to be one of the key challenges factor for the IT company. The degree or amount of
data which the IT Company is managing and collecting is vast and is exploding at a greater scale.
Hence, this becomes one of the most problematic and challenging issue to protect the data. The
key challenges associated with the data protection within the IT company our rapid growth
within the datasets, reliable data recovery and data security threats. Human error such as
accidental deletes and bad software update is challenging for the company because it results in
application downtime and loss of the data (Bennett, Pérez-Bustamante, and Medrano, 2017).
Data corruption jeopardise, viruses and accidental data deletion is the continuous risk to the
information technology company because it is considered to be very complex to recover data sets
within efficient manner. Increased degree of regulation and high expenses to the IT Company to
protect data is one of the most challenging task. Had degree of resources such as labour expenses
and excessive capex is required in order to manage the growth of the data. Information
technology staff who has been managing offsite backup tends to have major degree of issue to
manage redundant software and hardware in multiple remote areas (Antony, 2015). Cloud data
protection in turn is considered to be as one of the most relevant approach which helps in
securing and effectively protecting the data of the IT Company.
Skill gap: Skill gap is considered to be one of the most prominent influencing issues and
challenges within the information technology sector. This in turn will result for the management
of the organisation to seek help from outside of the company which is a costly affair and also
time-consuming. Lack of skilled and prominent skilled professionals who have perfect attributes
to carry out certain set of task within the organisation with utmost level of accuracy and
efficiency (Tittagala, Hadidimoud, and Liang, 2016). Outsourcing this is considered to be one of
the crucial factor for the. This leads to giving away more important data of the company to the
outside sources is. Generation Z tends to have high degree of control over the newer and
advanced technology.
