Intelligent data management solutions and use cases are transforming the traditional data protection and storage spaces. As end-users continue on their digital transformation journeys, the need to efficiently reuse compliant data is adding data management challenges to an already complex IT infrastructure landscape. At the same time, significant business benefits can be derived from successful intelligent data management implementations.
ESG conducted a comprehensive online survey of IT and cybersecurity professionals from private- and public-sector organizations in North America (United States and Canada) between August 3, 2021 and August 14, 2021. To qualify for this survey, respondents were required to be IT and cybersecurity professionals responsible for evaluating, purchasing, and utilizing products and services for security hygiene and posture management (i.e., vulnerability management, asset management, attack surface management, security testing tools, etc.).
This Complete Survey Results presentation focuses on security posture management strategies today, including how organizations are addressing challenges and improving programs, how security and IT operations teams cooperate on all security posture management activities, and priorities associated with security posture management in the coming 12-18 months.

Security posture management challenges are driven by the growing attack surface. Organizations have accelerated cloud computing initiatives and have been forced to support a growing population of remote users because of the pandemic. Firms are also deploying new types of devices as part of digital transformation initiatives, further exacerbating the growing attack surface, which leads to management challenges, vulnerabilities, and potential system compromises. Meanwhile, security teams are also concerned about recent cybersecurity issues including MS Exchange vulnerabilities, the SolarWinds hack, and the recent Log4j zero-day flaw. As a result, organizations are further assessing security posture management processes, examining vendor risk management requirements, and testing security more frequently.

As organizations look to make data and analytics capabilities available to more stakeholders, providing the right tools, technology, and training for all employees rooted in self-service is proving valuable. A key benefit of self-service is productivity. Experts and generalists alike benefit from self-service technology to ensure faster ramp-up, fewer interruptions, and ongoing improvements in day-to-day tasks.

ESG conducted a comprehensive online survey of IT professionals from private- and public-sector organizations in North America (United States and Canada) between August 3, 2021 and August 14, 2021. To qualify for this survey, respondents were required to be IT professionals personally responsible for data protection and data management technology decisions for their organization.
This Complete Survey Results presentation focuses on the evolution of traditional data protection processes to more holistic data management strategies in which data is better understood and reused for other technical and business purposes.

With a goal of broadening BI usage throughout the business, organizations are turning to advanced BI capabilities. Embedded analytics, mobile application delivery and support, augmented analytics, self-service enablement, low-code/no-code, and natural language querying are expected to rapidly grow in adoption to enable the business to better leverage data and empower more end-users to gain access to actionable insight.

Business intelligence has long served as a technology-driven process for analyzing data and delivering actionable information that helps a variety of roles—from executives and managers to business analysts and data scientists—make more informed business decisions. With the understanding that the goal of BI initiatives is to drive better business decisions that enable organizations to increase revenue, improve operational efficiency, and gain competitive advantages over business rivals, it is no surprise that organizations continue to prioritize BI, as can be seen through larger investments and more end-user exposure throughout the business.

Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), which combines compute, storage, and virtualization resources in a single system, continues to grow in popularity as delivery models evolve. Emerging, next-generation HCI solutions that support independently managed resources can be used in conjunction with traditional, clustered HCI to expand the IT ecosystem in a more holistic approach across the entire organization.
