Emerging Security Technologies and Trends for 2025: What Happens AFTER GenAI... Outcomes Get Real Again

Fri, 08 Nov 2024 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC Tech Buyer Presentation discusses emerging security technologies. Security is an “organic” discipline, constantly evolving to improve the efficiency and efficacy of existing approaches and adapting to respond to the creative new attacks of clever and sophisticated adversaries. The result is that new and innovative technologies are always being developed but some of them quietly disappear. However, it can be difficult to keep up with the bleeding edge technologies coming to the market. The purpose of this research is to document new technologies across many cybersecurity disciplines.

This emerging cybersecurity technologies primer is not meant to be an exhaustive list, just a sampling of the technologies that were top of mind at the time of the compilation of the research.

Value-Driven DevOps and App Engineering in the AI Everywhere Era

Jennifer Thomson — Fri, 08 Nov 2024 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC Tech Buyer Presentation, delivered on October 1^st at IDC’s 2024 DevOps Summit in London, delves into the future of modern app development and delivery. This future is driven by three key factors: developer experience and productivity, security resilience, and business empowerment.

The future of DevOps is app centric, focused on user experience, value, and resilience by design. Platform teams play a crucial role in enabling effective app development and management. This transformation integrates security, finance, and operations into the development process to create a seamless and automated software delivery environment. However, achieving “value-driven DevOps and app engineering” requires breaking down silos between DevOps, CloudOps, and DataOps and creating smart integrations to meet business needs for speed, security, and cost efficiency.

This presentation explores:

What success looks like in a decade defined by value and powered by AI.
How organizations should evolve their software development and delivery strategies to align with new business requirements mandated by the management board, all while optimizing software engineering culture, design, and delivery engines.
How organizations can prepare for an app-centric future where engineering capabilities work in lockstep execution.
How to design engineering capabilities for excellence and responsible innovation.
Insights into what sets the leaders apart.

IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Machine Learning Operations Platforms 2024 Vendor Assessment

Kathy Lange — Thu, 07 Nov 2024 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC study evaluates vendors that offer MLOps technologies and capabilities. As the AI market continues to grow, so do concerns about implementing responsible AI practices. There is a growing need for greater transparency and explainability of model results to promote confidence and trust in AI-based applications. While AI governance is a top priority, organizations continue to struggle to industrialize traditional AI/ML applications. AI platform vendors continue to add features that streamline and automate the AI life cycle for faster time to value, enable more users, and promote collaboration.

"MLOps adoption is growing as tools, technology, and best practices become more widely available," said Kathy Lange, research director, AI Software at IDC. "AI platform suppliers are increasingly embedding responsible AI practices and generative AI into their offerings to automate the AI life cycle and broaden the software's accessibility and transparency. This shift will fuel the market's growth while promoting trust in AI and strengthening the synergy between traditional and generative AI."

IDC MarketScape: Asia/Pacific Managed Cloud Services 2024–2025 Vendor Assessment

Pushkaraksh Shanbhag — Wed, 06 Nov 2024 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC study represents a vendor assessment of the 2024 managed cloud services market through the IDC MarketScape model. This research is a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the characteristics that explain a vendor's success in the marketplace and help anticipate its ascendancy. The IDC MarketScape covers a variety of vendors participating in the Asia/Pacific MCS space. Its evaluation is based on a comprehensive framework and set of parameters expected to be most conducive to success in providing cloud professional services in both the short term and the long term. A key component of this evaluation is the inclusion of the perception of buyers of both the key characteristics and the capabilities of their MCS provider.

"Multicloud and hybrid cloud architectures have emerged as foundational digital infrastructure requirements to help enterprises address evolving digital sovereignty, privacy, and compliance requirements shaping the AI market today, while continuing to benefit from the proven business value and technological innovation that public clouds offer," said Pushkaraksh Shanbhag, associate director, Cloud and IT Services. "Seamless orchestration, efficient management, and continuous optimization of these multi–public cloud and hybrid IT environments, particularly for use cases focused on data, AI, and digital sovereignty, will drive differentiated value creation for enterprises for the foreseeable future. These requirements need to guide enterprise decision making around identifying the right partner for their cloud operations management. This report is intended to help enterprises with such an evaluation."

Regulatory Factors Impacting IT Organizations

Daniel Saroff — Wed, 06 Nov 2024 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC Tech Buyer Survey Spotlight reveals that there will be shifts in the biggest factors impacting IT organizations over the next three years. In 2025, the emphasis will be on digital business execution gaps and emerging tech. By 2027, IT leaders expect that emerging tech will still hold sway, but cybersecurity regulations and ESG regulations will gain in importance. The global regulatory climate is driving these changes, with increased legislation around antitrust, sustainability, and technology risk, prompting companies to adjust their strategies and perform greater due diligence.

This presentation provides guidance on how to best address these shifting priorities.
