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.
To examine the state of DataOps in today’s organizations, Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 361 data professionals in North America (US and Canada) involved with modern data and analytics tooling, technology, and processes.
As hybrid models take hold in today’s evolving IT ecosystems, the stakeholders behind infrastructure and application deployments continue to expand beyond IT operations. Senior IT management increasingly has extensive responsibilities to ensure that complex, multidisciplinary strategies are carried out in optimal form, without barriers that can slow business velocity. These responsibilities trickle down to a wide range of teams, from cloud and cybersecurity to platform engineering and risk/compliance. Collaboration is essential, even in the face of persistent barriers that prevent teams from working hand in hand with others within the organization.
To examine persona behavior and trends within distributed cloud environments, Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 368 IT professionals in North America (US and Canada) involved with technology purchases and processes used in on-premises, cloud (private, hybrid, and multi), and edge environments.
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.
To gain further insight into these trends, TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 393 IT and cybersecurity professionals at organizations in North America (US and Canada) responsible for evaluating or purchasing cloud security technology products and services.
Ransomware is widely considered a critical and existential threat to the viability of any business. Given the high frequency of attacks and the impacts of successful ones such as data and infrastructure loss, many organizations are left with damages that have an effect well beyond IT. Attackers often go beyond valuable data assets by undermining key infrastructure components and exposing significant gaps, including those in the backup infrastructure itself. IT leaders must understand that the nature of the threat goes well beyond just data and focus on protecting and further leveraging their backup and recovery infrastructure to remove risk and minimize business impact through advanced capabilities. Overall, most organizations should consider key features to improve their cyber-resilience as they continue to battle ransomware and other cyber-risks.
In order to gain further insight into these trends, TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 600 IT and cybersecurity professionals at organizations in North America (US and Canada) and Western Europe (UK, France, and Germany) personally involved with the technology and processes associated with protecting against ransomware. The research results were further used to create a multidimensional model to evaluate organizations’ progress over the last 18 months in preparing for these threats and identifying best practices.
