  • Challenges Leveraging Generative AI for Modern Application Security

    ·

    Melinda Marks

    Organizations are looking to adopt generative AI (GenAI) to enable employees, especially software developers, to increase productivity and gain a competitive advantage. TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group research shows that with cloud-native application development, most organizations are either already using GenAI and chatbot tools or they are planning to use them. However, because application security teams need effective programs to ensure security of their software applications, their top concerns are around GenAI usage. As modern application security should enable use of innovative technologies to support business growth, this brief explores strategies to support secure GenAI use.

  • 2025 Technology Spending Intentions Survey

    ·

    Christian Perry

    Persisting macroeconomic uncertainty is not dampening IT investment plans as organizations rush to outfit their environments with the transformative potential of AI while ensuring their valuable data—data inevitably fed into large language models—is kept secure. To track these trends, Informa TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 1,351 senior IT and business decision-makers to ascertain IT budget outlooks for 2025, both overall and for specific technologies, and to determine the key business and technology priorities driving these spending plans. Survey respondents were employed at midmarket (100 to 999 employees) and enterprise-class (1,000 employees or more) organizations in North America, EMEA, APAC, and Latin America. All respondents were personally responsible for or familiar with their organization’s 2024 IT spending, as well as their 2025 IT budget and spending plans at either an entire organization level or a business unit, division, or branch level.

  • Managing Non-human Identities for an Effective Cybersecurity Program

    ·

    Todd Thiemann

    Modern application architectures with complex relationships and ephemeral resources have resulted in a proliferation of non-human access to communicate and exchange data. Enterprise IT cybersecurity and operations teams are recognizing the risk associated with the large and growing volume of non-human identities. As cloud adoption and automation continue to grow, effective non-human identity management has become essential for maintaining security, facilitating business operations, and supporting digital transformation initiatives. TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group recently surveyed IT, cybersecurity, and DevOps, platform, and cybersecurity engineering professionals to gain insights into these trends.

  • Managing Non-human Identities for an Effective Cybersecurity Program

    ·

    Todd Thiemann

    Enterprise IT cybersecurity and operations teams are recognizing the risk associated with the large and growing volume of non-human identities (NHIs). Modern application architectures with complex relationships and ephemeral resources have resulted in a proliferation of non-human access to communicate and exchange data. NHI is an emerging space with unique characteristics and lifecycle requirements when compared with the more established human identity and access management (IAM) domain. Inadequate security for non-human identities poses significant security risks given the significant access and privileges provided to non-human identity infrastructure. Specifically, poor security for NHIs can lead to data breaches, operational disruptions, and compliance violations. As cloud adoption and automation continue to grow, effective non-human identity management has become essential for maintaining security, facilitating business operations, and supporting digital transformation initiatives.

    To gain further insight into these trends and issues, TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 367 IT, cybersecurity, and DevOps, platform, and cybersecurity engineering professionals at organizations in North America (US and Canada) involved with or responsible for the technologies and processes that secure non-human identities and machine workloads.

  • Modern Cyber-risk Challenges Require Deeper Context, Automation, and Continuous Analysis

    ·

    Tyler Shields

    Companies are regressing in the ability to manage cyber-risk and vulnerabilities due to a lack of broad asset discovery and state monitoring, deficient surface depth threat intelligence and point-in-time assessment, and insufficient vulnerability context to make prioritization possible. A lack of automation is creating an environment where the time it takes to assess state and security posture takes too long, causing analysis to be conducted on stale context. Recent research by TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group reveals that cybersecurity leaders must focus on improving what data they collect, while building a system that is fast enough to keep up with a modern enterprise environment’s pace of change. To achieve this, organizations expect cyber-risk management tools to consolidate disparate data sets into something much broader over time and build a continuous approach to vulnerability and risk management.
