  • Entrust Selling Certificate Business Underscores Need for Enterprise Crypto Agility

    ·

    Todd Thiemann

    Entrust announced the sale of its certificate authority business to Sectigo in January 2025, an event that will cause many enterprises to reevaluate their certificate lifecycle management strategy. Recent research by Informa TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group into non-human identities (NHIs) revealed that digital certificates were of concern to enterprises,1 and the Entrust-Sectigo transaction reinforces the need for enterprises to maintain crypto agility to adapt to and recover from changes in cryptographic infrastructure. Enterprises should focus on gaining visibility into their expanding digital certificate estate in preparation for upcoming changes posed by shortening certificate validity periods and impending changes needed to prepare for post-quantum cryptography (PQC).

  • False Confidence Around API Security Persists

    ·

    Melinda Marks

    APIs are crucial parts of modern application architectures, facilitating critical functionality, communication, and data movement. Unfortunately, each API could be an entry point for a cyberattack if a bad actor finds a vulnerability. Recent research by Informa TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group investigated the state of API security programs and whether the teams behind their operation have a handle on the risk associated with this attack vector.

  • Architecting the Network for an AI-powered World

    ·

    Jim Frey

    Enterprise IT stands on the threshold of one of the greatest evolutionary changes in decades with the arrival and expansion of AI and its fast-growing variant, generative AI. These technologies hold the potential to revolutionize applications and services, taking the businesses they support to new levels of efficiency and profitability.

    But to reach the AI promised land, many organizations must invest in significant new compute infrastructure and ensure their networks are ready to play their essential role in supporting AI initiatives. AI-driven network upgrades must deliver increased speed, high throughput, and low latency, both within GenAI computing clusters and across the entire enterprise so that AI inferencing can be distributed as far out to the edges as necessary.

    To gain further insight into these trends, Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 370 network professionals at organizations in North America (US and Canada), Western Europe, and the Asia Pacific involved with building and managing network technology and processes.

  • Rethinking Database Requirements in the Age of AI

    ·

    Stephen Catanzano

    The growing use of GenAI is changing how businesses manage operations and make decisions. Databases are becoming the core infrastructure of AI-based projects, providing the foundation for use cases that require efficiency and accuracy. It’s now a necessity to use cutting-edge tools such as vector and RAG for processing AI data, and organizations are seeking databases designed to get the most out of their data. However, organizations innately proceed into this realm with different internal capabilities and maturity levels for their database strategies, which prompts variation in priorities and processes.

    To gain further insight into these trends, TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 358 IT professionals at organizations in North America (US and Canada) involved with or responsible for the database technologies, processes, and programs used to manage their organization’s data.

  • Enterprises Tap GenAI Partners as Challenges Mount

    ·

    Mike Leone

    Enterprises (1,000+ employees) are turning to generative AI (GenAI) for wide-ranging strategic benefits, but they’re far more likely to encounter certain challenges than large midmarket (500 to 999 employees) in these endeavors, according to research by Informa TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group. A recent study found that although both large and smaller organizations engage with partners regularly to overcome GenAI project challenges, enterprise-size firms tend to need vendors’ support in specific crucial areas in their pursuit of large-scale transformation.
