New tools are proliferating to secure data wherever it lives. Six data security trends—ranging from AI washing to new data security platforms—are in the forefront for 2023. -
Identity’s place in the attack chain is driving the shift of identity responsibility from IT operations teams to security teams to look into passwordless, digital IDs, platforms, and more.
-
Encryption is a foundational element of cybersecurity. Organizations should implement encryption to counter the ever-growing threat of data breaches.

It’s more important than ever that business-critical data is available, but there is still a problematic misunderstanding about the responsibility for protecting SaaS data.
See fresh research into this market dynamic with the infographic, Data Protection for SaaS.

Edge computing is now a top IT priority in organizations as they look to gain real-time business insights from data. Ideally, they’re able to achieve that while minimizing the IT infrastructure deployed at edge locations. But our research shows that the number of applications run at a location can have a big impact on the required IT resources. The amount of time data is retained there is another key factor to consider in planning edge deployments.
-
Organizations increasingly are deploying edge applications to gain business insights from data as it’s generated. But our research shows that they face various challenges: security issues, high infrastructure costs, a lack of skills, management complexity, and more. Being aware of the biggest application challenges and ways to address them before starting a deployment is crucial to ensuring that edge initiatives deliver the expected business value.
-
Strong network connectivity is needed in edge computing environments to extract business value from edge applications. 5G technology could be key to that, and the research shows that most organizations are bullish about using it at the edge. Adoption of both public and private 5G is expected to increase as a result, but organizations should watch deployments closely to make sure the technology is appropriate for their edge use cases.

The complexity of gathering, maintaining, and interpreting huge volumes of data continues to plague organizations. It’s challenging to clean, integrate, and maintain data with goal of gaining rapid insight to help the business. But it’s not slowing down organizations in their prioritization of data initiatives. They recognize the value and game-changing potential of harnessing the power of data. It starts by properly defining objectives and desired outcomes and ends with data driving decision making and action to fuel innovation.

While organizations can have altruistic reasons for embracing and implementing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives, there are also more self-serving drivers. Indeed, not only is improved brand development the most commonly cited ESG objective, nearly half of early adopters identify it as a benefit they have already realized as a result of implementing these initiatives.
-
The principles of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives increasingly matter as a technology brand attribute and are subsequently new and important evaluation factors for IT buyers. It follows then that the vast majority of organizations will pay a price premium for products and/or services from vendors that demonstrate a firm commitment to ESG, a trend that is even more pronounced among younger organizations.
