Artificial Intelligence

  • Observability vendors are in a race to leverage AI to automate root cause analysis, enable self-healing, optimize resources, reduce alert noise, automate log analysis, and deliver contextualized actionable insights to end users. Organizations across industries recognize that implementing AI-enhanced observability tools can give them strategic insights that optimize the economics of their application development and platform engineering practices. However, Enterprise Strategy Group’s recent research reveals that an organization’s industry significantly influences three key aspects of AI-enhanced observability: the specific operational benefits realized, perceived return on investment, and how frequently teams override AI recommendations.

  • Enterprises need to provide access to sensitive data while controlling against the unauthorized disclosure of that information from inadvertent leakage, insider threats, and outside attacks targeting data. Work-from-home and bring-your-own-device initiatives pose increased data loss prevention (DLP) challenges, and generative AI (GenAI) has opened new avenues for data leakage. Although DLP is a top investment category when it comes to data security, enterprises continue to struggle to classify data and control against data loss. Enterprise Strategy Group recently surveyed IT and cybersecurity professionals to gain insights into these trends.

  • Enterprises need to provide access to sensitive data while controlling against the unauthorized disclosure of that information from inadvertent leakage, insider threats, and outside attacks targeting data. Work-from-home and bring-your-own-device initiatives pose increased DLP challenges, and new collaboration platforms and GenAI applications have opened new avenues for data leakage. Additionally, the proliferation of cloud services poses threats for data exfiltration, while intellectual property and trade secrets take new forms that do not lend themselves to conventional DLP solutions.

    Although DLP is a top investment category when it comes to data security, enterprises continue to struggle to classify data and control against data loss. Whether an enterprise DLP solution or DLP functionality within another security technology, current offerings generate considerable false positive alerts that distract teams that must evaluate and respond to such alerts. Existing approaches relying on regular expression (regex) rules can be brittle and require considerable maintenance, while current DLP solutions frequently encounter scaling and performance issues. Furthermore, complex data types like software code or health sciences data can be difficult to categorize.

    To gain insights into these trends, Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 370 IT and cybersecurity professionals in North America (U.S. and Canada) involved with identity security technologies and processes.
