IT environments are growing more distributed, diverse, and complex, making network security top of mind for most IT and security professionals.
TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) conducted a survey of over 350 IT and cybersecurity professionals within the United States and Canada to better understand trends and best practices in the current network security landscape. The report examined the options available for satisfying network security use cases, growth in cloud, and the rapid emergence of AI.
In this study TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group sought to:
- Understand the tools cloud and network security teams currently use and their reasons for prioritizing them
- Explore the top challenges teams face and the frequency of both attacks and downtime
- Determine how modern application architectures impact cloud and network security practices
- Assess the level of collaboration around network security and the teams involved in firewall buying decisions
