Just came across this insightful article by Gartner, forecasting a 6.8% worldwide IT spending growth in 2024! The digital landscape is evolving rapidly, and so are our cybersecurity needs. As technology advances, so do the challenges. It's crucial for organizations to stay ahead by investing in robust IT infrastructure and cybersecurity measures. #ITgrowth #Cybersecurity #DigitalInnovation #TechTrends2024 Source: https://lnkd.in/deniNYi2

In a recent interview, Ariana Leena Lavanya, Principal Analyst at The Fast Mode spoke to Petros Katimertzoglou, Senior Vice President, Head of the Engagement and Experience Business Unit at Mobileum on the impact of #trafficvisibility on modern IP networks. Petros joins us in a series of discussions with leading networking, analytics and cybersecurity companies, assessing the need for traffic filtering technologies that can deliver real-time, granular application awareness. The series explores how advanced analytics power various network functions amidst the rapid growth in traffic and applications. #cybersecurity #networksecurity #dpi #observability #networkanalytics #encryption #data #networkintelligence

Gartner, a business intelligence firm, has termed #SOAR (security orchestration, automation, and response) as "obsolete." Despite this, efforts to simplify and automate security operations will continue to persist. The conflict mainly lies in the effectiveness of SOAR amidst the rapidly changing cybersecurity landscape. However, experts recognize that while the traditional definitions and applications of SOAR may be obsolete, a new enhanced version, equipped to address emerging cyber threats, remains imperative.

The platform versus best-of-breed argument in the selection of security vendors is decades old, but significant players in the extended detection and response (#XDR) market have recently reignited the debate in light of a perceived need for consolidation of security tools in enterprises amid tightening economic conditions and increasing threat complexity. Some arguments for a #platform approach — fewer vendors to manage, a single partner to hold accountable — seem to fall flat among buyers in the security space per prior survey research. But a limited number of agents, consolidated reporting from multiple tools and reporting that combines identification of problems alongside enforcement, while potentially providing an integration point where newer technology capabilities such as AI can act on data, do resonate with the security buyer. SecOps is an area where the platform approach is being touted by providers, and this survey asks whether that viewpoint is taking hold among practitioners. Twelve percent of survey respondents do not have a primary #SecOps vendor, leaving 88% who do. Among those organizations, 36% of SecOps spending goes to that primary vendor on average. For enterprises with more than 1,000 employees, it is 40%. While this indicates the common presence of a single-vendor SecOps platform, it also indicates that platform is not capturing the bulk of spending today. Depending on one's point of view, that could indicate that security teams implement limited platform-based approaches to SecOps or that there is significant opportunity for platform vendors to capture additional budget by displacing security point solutions.

According to Gartner, the technology landscape is evolving rapidly. After just seven years, they have labeled SOAR as "obsolete before plateau". This suggests a growing reliance on AI, automation, and other cybersecurity solutions, potentially paving the way for new platforms. In my view, AI and automation are indeed reshaping the industry. However, the technology may not be advanced enough to entirely replace SOAR yet. What are your thoughts on this evolving tech landscape? #Gartner #SOAR #AI #Automation #Cybersecurity
