Increasingly dynamic cloud environments are presenting visibility challenges for security. Indeed, the majority of organizations claim that lack of access to physical networks, the dynamic nature of cloud-native applications, and elastic cloud infrastructure create blind spots, making security monitoring challenging. SOC teams need to address this cloud visibility gap by collecting, processing, monitoring, and acting upon information from an assortment of cloud security telemetry sources.

Additionally, nearly all organizations experienced a cloud security incident in the last year, resulting in application downtime, unauthorized access, data loss, and compliance fines. Thus, cloud security limitations can impact the business. Understanding this risk, executives and corporate boards are demanding measurable progress. Given the rise of digital transformation and cloud-native software development, CISOs must align threat detection and response spending with an increasing array of cloud-based business-critical workloads.

Organizations continue to modernize their infrastructure to meet transformation mandates and position themselves for success in the digital era. As data continues to play a central role in helping businesses differentiate, storage infrastructure becomes critical, which is now thrown into even sharper relief as the large AI opportunity becomes apparent. However, the pace and extent to which organizations can begin to capitalize on these opportunities varies widely, especially when set against the backdrop of macro challenges and preexisting priorities. This study provides a detailed view into how organizations are evolving their storage and related infrastructure, including hyperconverged infrastructure, to meet the broad range of IT objectives at both strategic and tactical levels.

For most organizations, data is no longer only one of many elements that contribute to the success of business initiatives. On the contrary, data increasingly is the business, wielding formidable influence and power across numerous factors, including the ability to rapidly make informed business decisions. In turn, organizations are investing significant resources into the development of DataOps strategies that formalize parts and processes inherent to the data pipeline and help to build collaboration between stakeholders across the ecosystem. Data-centric challenges are extensive within any team connected to the organization’s data pipeline, including data producers, engineers, developers, and users. These challenges ultimately drive the adoption and use of technologies and processes designed to satisfy both common and unique data requirements.

Organizations are increasingly deploying applications across multiple public cloud locations in a meaningful way. This is vastly different from only three years ago when the majority of organizations were using multiple cloud service providers but primarily depending on only one for almost all of their service needs. Today it is common for organizations to deploy production and mission-critical applications across multiple public cloud service (e.g., IaaS) providers. Modern application environments are driving this adoption as organizations seek to optimize performance and quickly and easily set up connections to these cloud providers.

Whether using traditional PCs or laptops, workstations, Macs, Chromebooks, or virtual desktops and applications, the endpoint device is the first link in the chain that connects a user to their work. In today’s typical corporate environment, IT organizations are tasked with supporting multiple endpoint devices per user across a range of hardware form factors and operating systems. Each device or OS type requires additional considerations for purchasing, deployment, management, and security. Acquisition, deployment, and ongoing management efforts are affected by this sprawl, with models often including thin clients, BYOD programs, unmanaged (zero-trust) devices, and corporate-managed devices.

While macroeconomic conditions have improved over the last several months, many businesses are still taking a cautious approach to spending. However, for many organizations, this is not an option when it comes to technology investments that underpin digital transformation efforts and increasingly serve as competitive differentiators. With this in mind, TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 938 senior IT and business decision-makers to ascertain IT budget outlooks for 2024, both overall and for specific technologies, and to determine the key business and technology priorities driving these spending plans.

As AI continues its meteoric rise into business and IT environments, organizations are rapidly assembling or accelerating strategies to support AI technologies across every applicable area. Unlike niche technologies that impact only certain processes or personnel, AI has wide-ranging potential to transform entire businesses, IT environments, and associated teams. In turn, AI strategies must be multi-pronged efforts that properly align business objectives with AI initiatives and expectations, which requires thorough participation from stakeholders across the organization. The underlying infrastructure and other supportive elements must be fully capable of supporting that tandem strategy.

Ransomware, business email compromise, and other attacks are increasingly evading cybersecurity defenses, causing IT and cybersecurity teams to further invest in incident response (IR) readiness. As such, incident response can no longer be viewed as an event-driven action but must be operationalized and become a core strategy within security operations. As security and line-of-business teams react to this new reality, new incident response strategies are needed for most.

Few have the internal resources and capacity to handle this key function on their own, requiring many to leverage a service-based approach. While managed security service providers and managed detection and response service providers have become commonplace, a deeper partnership is needed to enable real-time IR services capable of mitigating damage from successful attacks. Cybersecurity leaders need to better understand the differentiation of IR services as a standalone offering versus those included in a broader set of service offerings to make more informed decisions.
