Organizations are distributing applications across private data centers, public clouds, the edge, and hybrid work locations, creating management complexity and blinds spots for networking teams that are trying to ensure critical connectivity. As a result, organizations are exploring new strategies and technologies that drive visibility, efficiency, and automation.
Learn more about these trends with the infographic, End-to-end Networking Visibility and Management.
The potential for serious business disruptions makes detecting threats quickly and accurately critical to preventing data loss, compliance violations, and lost revenue. Even as resources and users leave the traditional perimeter, the network should play a key role in detecting threats to avoid business disruption.

IT organizations shouldn’t be fooled by the name: Managed detection and response (MDR) providers are delivering much more than basic detection and response. With no end in sight for the cybersecurity skills shortage, MDR services can bring immediate expert resources online to help security teams gain control and set themselves up for future security program success. TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group recently surveyed cybersecurity professionals in order to better understand these trends.

To gain insight into the market dynamics for integrated technology solutions from strategic partners, Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 352 IT professionals in North America (US and Canada) involved in the purchases of integrated solutions at their organizations.
Examples of integrated solutions include:
This study sought to answer the following questions:
Survey participants represented a wide range of industries including manufacturing, technology, financial services, and retail/wholesale. For more details, please see the Research Methodology and Respondent Demographics sections of this report.
Organizations are moving applications to the cloud and embracing digital transformation strategies to speed development cycles and better serve employees, partners, and customers. However, the subsequent faster release cycles and broad internet exposure increases the number of potential security incidents caused by misconfigurations, including a high number of those that are identity-related. Security teams are looking for efficient ways to drive actions that reduce security risk, including trimming excessive access permissions and fixing coding issues that make them vulnerable to attack.
In order to gain further insights into these trends, TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) surveyed 383 IT and cybersecurity decision makers responsible for evaluating or purchasing cloud security technology products and services at midmarket (100 to 999 employees) and enterprise (1,000 or more employees) organizations in North America (US and Canada).
This study sought to answer the following questions:
Survey participants represented a wide range of industries including manufacturing, technology, financial services, and retail/wholesale. For more details, please see the Research Methodology and Respondent Demographics sections of this report.
Cyber-threat intelligence is analyzed information about cyber-threats that helps inform cybersecurity decision making. Although security professionals recognize the value of cyber-threat intelligence, many organizations still consume it on a superficial basis.

Organizations are distributing applications across private data centers, multiple public clouds, and edge locations. Plus, hybrid work initiatives are enabling employees to work from home or other locations outside of traditional office settings. As a result, the network has become critical to ensuring secure connectivity. These modern, distributed networks create greater challenges for organizations as they can create blind spots and become operationally complex to effectively manage. In addition, organizations are exploring the use of new technologies that drive visibility, efficiency, and automation.
To better understand how organizations are addressing end-to-end network visibility and management as well as adopting new technologies to drive greater operational efficiencies, Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 339 IT and networking professionals responsible for network operations, architecture, and management at organizations in North America (US and Canada).
This study sought to answer the following questions:
Survey participants represented a wide range of industries including manufacturing, technology, financial services, and retail/wholesale. For more details, please see the Research Methodology and Respondent Demographics sections of this report.
