ESG Brief: The Demise of EDR?

by Dave Gruber, on Apr 26, 2022

Abstract:

As a top investment priority for security organizations, detection and response programs are entering a significant transition as attack surface expansion and threat complexity drive the need for more comprehensive visibility, detection, and response. The extended detection and response (XDR) movement has spawned a plethora of new solution offerings capable of detecting advanced threats by aggregating, correlating, and analyzing telemetry from endpoints, networks, the cloud, and identities together with a new level of more extensive threat intelligence. What impact – if any – do IT and cybersecurity teams anticipate XDR having on their current endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions?

ESG Brief: Microsoft Makes Gains in Endpoint Security

by Dave Gruber, on Apr 22, 2022

Abstract:

As expanding device diversity, zero trust, and extended detection and response initiatives drive organizations to reassess endpoint security solution investments, security teams are looking to replace existing tools with more capable, converged platforms. Significant advances in Microsoft's native endpoint security prevention, detection, and response capabilities, together with attractive bundling and pricing options, have propelled a meteoric rise in the popularity of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint over the past two years. While many intend to use Defender as a core component within their endpoint security arsenal, many still plan to supplement, potentially spawning a new opportunity for other security providers to deliver specialized add-on solutions.

ESG Research Report: Hyperconverged Infrastructure Trends

by Paul Nashawaty, on Apr 20, 2022

Abstract:

In order to gain insight into how infrastructure is evolving to take on today’s business challenges, ESG surveyed 348 IT decision makers at organizations in North America (US and Canada) responsible for their organization’s on-premises infrastructure, specifically usage of or plans for hyperconverged infrastructure.

Survey participants represented a wide range of industries including manufacturing, financial services, retail, healthcare, and technology.

ESG Brief: SASE: A Managed Service Opportunity

by Bob Laliberte, on Apr 13, 2022

Abstract:

Secure access service edge (SASE) frameworks are increasingly gaining interest with enterprise customers. The deployment of these services presents an opportunity to switch from perpetual licensing or even subscription licensing to delivering SASE as a managed service. The success of SD-WAN, a major component of a SASE framework, is certainly a driver for consuming SASE as a managed service as well. Organizations need to understand how managed service providers are delivering SASE, especially the ability to manage on-premises and cloud offerings.

ESG Brief: A Network-focused Approach to SASE

by Bob Laliberte, on Apr 13, 2022

Abstract:

Secure access service edge (SASE) offers opportunities for both networking and security, but in most organizations the security and networking teams still operate independently. This independence means enterprise strategies for pursuing SASE may often be focused either on networking or security. It should be noted, however, that some organizations are starting with a converged approach. Depending on who is leading the SASE initiative, priorities may differ. This brief will focus on the nearly one-third of organizations taking a network-focused approach to SASE implementation.

ESG Brief: The Growth of Network Automation and AI/ML

by Bob Laliberte, on Apr 13, 2022

Abstract:

Automation of network management, often through artificial intelligence and machine learning, holds great potential for helping businesses keep pace with rapidly expanding and complex distributed networks. But most organizations are reluctant to hand over all responsibility to intelligent systems. Change management to overcome AI skepticism, as well as gaining more experience using AI/ML, will build confidence and help drive adoption.

ESG Brief: Cloud-native Application Trends

by Paul Nashawaty, on Apr 12, 2022

Abstract:

Organizations that currently develop and deploy cloud-native applications use DevOps and agile development processes significantly more than those that don't, suggesting that being cloud-native is as much about iterative methodologies as it is about technology. An organization's use of cloud-native applications and adoption of iterative methodologies, including low code/no code, also strongly correlate to its digital transformation maturity.

ESG Brief: Data Is the Business

by Christophe Bertrand, on Apr 11, 2022

Abstract:

Building on existing trends favoring digital transformation initiatives, the pandemic sparked a further shift toward data-centric business models, with virtually all enterprises now using data to support the business and a remarkable one in five claiming data as their core business. To treat data like the business asset it has become, it must be de-risked, protected, made compliant, and leveraged. This will require IT professionals and vendors alike to develop intelligent data management strategies that not only preserve and protect data but also ready it for use in achieving business growth objectives.

ESG Brief: Intelligent Data Management

by Christophe Bertrand, on Apr 11, 2022

Abstract:

Driven by data's rapid growth, the menace of cyber-threats and the enterprise push for digital transformation, among other factors, intelligent data management is fast becoming a priority for data protection and storage professionals. More than two-thirds rank it among their organizations' top five data protection and management priorities, a dramatic change from two years ago when only a third of organizations considered intelligent data management a top priority. Among digitally mature organizations, adoption is even higher, suggesting that interest in this approach will continue to grow as digital laggards achieve digital transformation maturity. One in five organizations believe intelligent data management will replace their overall data protection strategies. Learn why now is the time to shift to intelligent data management.

ESG Brief: Compliance and Data Sanitization

by Christophe Bertrand, on Apr 11, 2022

Abstract:

Nearly 80% of organizations require data to be made compliant with external mandates or internal standards before it’s reused for non-production purposes. Most also sanitize such data, and increased confidence levels about passing compliance audits are especially pronounced among those that do. But many organizations don’t sanitize or apply compliance processes to all of their secondary data, and these partial approaches can limit the effectiveness of their de-risking efforts and leave them exposed to potential compliance issues.

ESG Brief: Data Classification and Data Reuse

by Christophe Bertrand, on Apr 11, 2022

Abstract:

Data classification is becoming more pervasive in organizations, and efforts to reuse secondary data are improving. While data reuse generates a broad set of business benefits, it also creates some challenges both for IT departments and vendors that offer intelligent data management tools. But there's a strong correlation between successful data reuse and data classification, as well as other key elements of intelligent data management.
