The Impact Of Drones On Businesses

We have seen a rise in the interest and use of drones in the consumer market, but the use of drones for businesses has been limited thus far. Some drones have been designed to work on oil rigs and telecommunication towers, while others have been used on construction sites, but we have yet to see more widespread use.

This limited use is not because of lack of technology or accessibility, rather the privacy and security issues that arise with the use of drones. “Rise of the Drones,” a recent report from the global technology association ISACA, delves into the potential uses of drones in a commercial environment along with critical elements which must be considered before implementing drone programs. Members were also polled in regards to the use and planning for drones within their industries.

• 75% say security or privacy are the biggest concern about the business use of drones.

• 65% say most organizations that would benefit from the use of drones are unprepared to address the necessary security and privacy requirements.

• 63% do not believe their current staff has sufficient expertise to evaluate the security of drones.

• Only 25% believe the benefits of drones outweigh the security and privacy risks, but an additional 48% say this will happen eventually, when concerns are addressed more thoroughly.

According to these results, it seems we need more education and awareness in regards to drone use and security. Implementing drone programs prematurely can cost the business lots of money and hassles. While there is potential for drone use within enterprises, it appears most organizations are simply not ready yet.
