Geleneksel BT Yönetişimi ile Yeni Nesil Bulut Yönetişimi Çerçevelerinin Uyumlaştırılması ve Dengelenmesindeki Zorluklar ve Fırsatların Risk Modellemesi

Abstract

Bu çalışma, geleneksel BT yönetişim yapıları ile bulut yönetişiminin ortaya çıkan paradigmaları arasındaki yakınsama ve dengeyi şekillendiren karmaşık dinamikleri sistematik bir biçimde incelemekte ve hesaplamalı bir modelleme yaklaşımı geliştirmektedir. Çalışma, bu yönetişim alanlarının uyumlaştırılmamasının; güvenlik ihlalleri, düzenleyici uyumsuzluk, maliyet artışları, operasyonel istikrarsızlıklar ve paydaş güveninde azalma gibi kritik risklere maruziyeti artırdığını, bunun da nihayetinde finansal kayıplara, hukuki sorumluluklara ve yenilik kapasitesinin zayıflamasına yol açabileceğini ileri sürmektedir. Niteliksel literatür sentezi ile gelişmiş risk modellemesini ve modelin iş akışı temsillerini bütünleştiren karma yöntemli bir araştırma tasarımına dayanan çalışma, yönetişim parçalanması, siber güvenlik açıkları ve kurumsal strateji ile uyumsuzluk gibi zorlukları ele alan kapsamlı bir risk değerlendirme çerçevesi ortaya koymaktadır. Bulgular, bulut yönetişiminin geleneksel BT yönetişimine entegre edildiğinde, kurum genelinde bütünsel bir yönetişim duruşu sağladığını ve organizasyonel çevikliği güçlendirdiğini göstermektedir. Risklerin ötesinde, analiz bulut benimsemesinin ölçeklenebilir mimariler, operasyonel uyarlanabilirlik ve maliyet etkinliği yoluyla yönetişimde yenilik için bir katalizör işlevi görebileceğini vurgulamaktadır. Önerilen risk modelleme çerçevesi, yapılandırılmış bir entegrasyon metodolojisi ile birlikte, BT ve bulut yönetişim paradigmalarının uyumlaştırılmasına rehberlik edecek risk-temelli stratejik içgörüler üretmekte; böylece operasyonel dayanıklılığı ilerletmekte ve bulut yoğun ortamlarda uzun vadeli rekabet avantajının sürdürülmesine katkı sağlamaktadır.

Risk Modeling of Challenges and Opportunities in Harmonizing Traditional IT Governance with Emerging Cloud Governance Frameworks

Abstract

This study undertakes a systematic exploration and computational modeling of the intricate dynamics shaping the convergence and equilibrium between traditional IT governance frameworks and the emergent paradigms of cloud governance. It posits that the lack of harmonization across these domains heightens organizational exposure to critical risks—including security breaches, regulatory non-compliance, cost escalation, operational disruptions, and erosion of stakeholder trust—which may ultimately culminate in financial losses, legal liabilities, and impeded innovation. Drawing upon a mixed-methods research design that synthesizes qualitative literature analysis with advanced risk modeling and a demonstrative workflow, the study formulates a comprehensive risk assessment framework that addresses governance fragmentation, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and misalignment with enterprise objectives. The findings underscore that cloud governance introduces novel oversight mechanisms which, when effectively integrated with conventional IT governance, facilitate an enterprise-wide governance posture and reinforce organizational agility. Beyond mitigating risks, the analysis reveals that cloud adoption can function as a catalyst for governance innovation by enabling scalable architectures, operational adaptability, and enhanced cost efficiency. The proposed risk modeling framework, complemented by a structured methodology for governance integration, yields risk-informed strategic insights to guide organizations in reconciling IT and cloud paradigms—thereby advancing operational resilience and sustaining long-term competitive advantage in cloud-intensive environments.
