ESG Research Report: The Evolution of Data Protection Cloud Strategies

by Christophe Bertrand, on May 26, 2021

Abstract:

The broad adoption of public cloud services as a source and repository of business-critical data is placing the onus on data owners to deliver on data protection SLAs of applications, and their associated data, that are cloud-resident. Many users are confused about what exact data protection levels public cloud infrastructure and SaaS solutions provide, leading to potential data loss and compliance risks. Concurrently, on-premises backup and disaster recovery strategies are increasingly leveraging cloud destinations, resulting in hybrid data protection topologies with varying degrees of service levels and end-user tradeoffs and opportunities. How do IT organizations utilize cloud services as part of their data protection strategy today?

Given this, it is unsurprising that organizational issues are the most common reason cited for projects being paused or abandoned. Effective communications channels, clarity of roles and responsibilities, and alignment of goals and success metrics are all important aspects of a zero trust strategy.

ESG Research Report: The Maturation of Cloud-native Security

by Doug Cahill, on May 7, 2021

Abstract:

The composition of cloud-native applications is a mix of APIs, containers, VMs, and serverless functions continuously integrated and delivered. Securing these applications, the underlying infrastructure, and the automation platforms that orchestrate their deployment necessitates revisiting threat models, gaining organizational alignment, and leveraging purposeful controls. Additionally, as security and DevOps continue to converge, cloud security controls are being consolidated. Project teams are evolving from a siloed approach to a unified strategy to securing cloud-native applications and platforms. In parallel, vendors are consolidating cloud security posture management (CSPM), cloud workload protection (CWP), container security, and more into integrated cloud security suites, impacting buyer personas and vendor sales motions.

In order to gain insight into these trends, ESG surveyed 383 IT and cybersecurity professionals at organizations in North America (US and Canada) personally responsible for evaluating or purchasing cloud security technology products and services.

ESG Brief: Re-emphasizing Data Security as Part of a Zero Trust Approach

by Carla Roncato, on May 6, 2021

Abstract:

Zero trust remains a broad initiative with a wide array of use cases, supporting technologies, and starting points. While it may seem that focus has shifted away from data security in recent years, many organizations consider it a critical component of their zero trust strategy. To address zero trust requirements, data classification and security solutions must support deployment flexibility, risk assessment, automation, and integrations with other solutions.

ESG Research Report: Digital Workspace Strategies in an Increasingly Remote Worker World

by Mark Bowker, on May 4, 2021

Abstract:

COVID-19 created an unplanned event for businesses that were forced to quickly enable a mostly—if not exclusively—remote workforce. The business response for remote work has challenged IT business continuity plans, created new risks, and impacted technology decisions. Digital workspaces, bolstered by VDI and DaaS, have the potential to play a vital role in facilitating employee productivity from anywhere in the short term, while helping IT retain insight and control.

ESG conducted an in-depth survey of 389 IT professionals responsible for or involved in the purchase process for productivity applications and endpoint devices, including virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and desktop-as-a-service solutions (DaaS). Survey participants represented midmarket (100 to 999 employees) and enterprise-class (1,000 employees or more) organizations in North America (United States and Canada) and Western Europe (UK, France, and Germany).
