  • Platform engineering is the foundation of digital transformation success, as this discipline directly affects an organization’s ability to rapidly, continuously, and cost-effectively deliver high-quality software in anticipation of and in response to complex and dynamic market requirements. Today’s landscape of cloud-native tools, technologies, infrastructure resources, and application development paradigms ultimately define optimal platform engineering strategies, but executing those strategies is often a complex and highly demanding task for organizations across all sizes and industries.

    To address these challenges, organizations are turning to platform engineering tools and best practices to accelerate and optimize the process of designing, building, and managing scalable and secure self-service platforms and workflows to optimize developer productivity. To gain further insights into these trends, TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 376 application developers and IT professionals at organizations in North America (US and Canada) involved with or responsible for using, evaluating, implementing, and managing platform engineering solutions and practices.

  • Cloud-native DevOps and platform engineering are key enablers of digital transformation at scale. With the advent and aid of generative AI (GenAI), organizations can significantly improve the maintenance, monitoring, and automation of their environments alongside the steady presence of rapid data growth. As development platforms evolve to support more diverse tools, development teams and their collaborative internal stakeholders are reassessing their methods, policies, and strategies to identify areas for optimization and ensure GenAI-led improvements stay in line with larger corporate goals and policies.

    To gain further insight into the current status and near future of AI in application development, TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 325 IT and application development professionals at organizations in North America (US and Canada) involved with AI technology and processes, including generative AI.

  • Pure Storage has unveiled Real-time Enterprise File, a wide-ranging software update to its storage platform that enables IT organizations to better respond to the realities of managing modern file storage supporting demanding workloads such as AI, analytics, and VDI. The update is designed to enable customers to more quickly respond to changing application demands in real time, while reducing total cost of ownership.

  • It is a messy state of affairs when the tools purchased in support of security operations add excessive management overhead, stealing precious time away from the limited skilled security personnel that are so important to the overall security agenda. Recent research by TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group found that security operations are continuing to become more difficult and are often made more so by an overabundance of point tools that burden cybersecurity staff with complexity. Consolidation initiatives are underway for most, but as IT innovations spur the need for new security tools, security leaders face a conundrum about how to get out of this cycle of complexity.

  • Streamlining Security Operations With Generative AI

    Virtually every business line is exploring and investing in generative AI (GenAI) to gain operational and competitive advantage. The realm of cybersecurity is no different, where security leaders are investing in GenAI to gain efficiencies in security operations (SecOps) in hopes of outmaneuvering their criminal adversaries—who are also likely pushing the limits of what GenAI can do to help achieve their means. Recent research by TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group revealed that SecOps is ripe with opportunity for the use of GenAI, especially for organizations with certain characteristics.

  • The Evolution of Network Security

    As IT environments have grown more distributed and diverse, network security tools generally and firewalls specifically have become fragmented. Historically, the choice between CSP firewalls, cloud-native firewalls, and firewall capabilities from networking tools boiled down to ease of use and efficiency versus functionality and efficacy. However, organizations can no longer make tradeoffs. TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group recently surveyed IT and cybersecurity professionals involved with network security technology and processes to gain insights into these trends.

  • As IT environments have grown more distributed and diverse, network security tools, generally, and firewalls, specifically, have become fragmented. The availability of CSP firewalls, cloud-native firewalls, and firewall capabilities from networking tools has created confusion in the market. Historically, the choice between many of these options boiled down to ease of use and efficiency versus functionality and efficacy. However, organizations can no longer make tradeoffs. They require the best of both worlds and need help understanding their options for network security and the best fit for the use cases they need to support.

    To gain insights into these trends, TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 358 IT and cybersecurity professionals in North America (US and Canada) involved with network security technology and processes at their organization.
