Bob Gourley. One of the enjoyable things about estimating the future is there is always a new consideration. It is a dynamic task that is never done. This is especially true in analyzing the future of enterprise technology, where things are always moving fast. We try to find balance in tracking the future of technology by focusing on the metatrends, those very powerful forces that sweep over us all (whether we want them to or not).

I have gotten some inquiries about where spending on artificial intelligence and cognitive technologies occur in our tech market numbers (see, for example, " US Tech Market Outlook For 2017 And 2018: Mostly Sunny, With Clouds And Chance Of Rain ").

Okay, I'll apologize right away to the IT ops teams that are already security-savvy. Hats off to you. But I suspect there are still a few that leave security to the CISO's team. On Friday, May 12, 2017, evil forces launched a ransomware pandemic, like a defibrillator blasting security into the heart of IT operations. What protected some systems? It wasn't an esoteric fancy-pants security tool that made some organizations safe; it was simple e-hygiene: Keep your operating systems current.

Bob Gourley. The dynamic nature of today’s IT Operations has eroded the network perimeter in ways we have all been watching and even cheering on! This is a new world of mobility, cloud computing and rapid partnering for success. But the erosion of the network perimeter is making traditional security a roadblock to efficiency. No one wants to allow holes to be poked in the security system but no one wants to shut down connectivity to partners either.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Let me pose a question: "Is it a bad thing to give the average person a hand grenade with the pin pulled?" I think most of us would respond to that question with an emphatic "YES!" No one in their right mind would think it's a good idea in any possible reality to allow anyone without extensive military or professional training to access an explosive--especially not one that is live and has no safety device in use.

Crystal Lister. Organizations today are increasingly adopting Internet of Things (IoT) devices lacking sufficient security protocols which creates unique insider risks that IT teams must address. These organizations were already facing enduring risks from malicious and non-malicious insiders and the intersection with IoT devices further complicates the attack surface that IT teams must defend.

Carol M. Evenson. With the number of cyber crimes climbing every day, and the costs of each cyberattack higher than the last, the word “hacker” has come to carry a very negative connotation. Business owners who are afraid of litigation cringe when they hear the word. Private individuals who are worried their identities will be stolen—or who have already had their identities stolen before—get sick to their stomach at the thought.
