Whether an enterprise operates in technology, healthcare, financial services, or another business vertical, cybersecurity must remain top of mind. In addition to the numerous international cybersecurity regulations, like the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, GDPR, and other mandates, enterprises must also prioritize cybersecurity to mitigate downtime, protect sensitive data, and uphold customer trust and brand reputation.

The generative AI market is poised to explode. From AI-based co-pilots and assistants to new use cases across healthcare, marketing, sales, software development, and more, generative AI is unleashing a new wave of productivity, efficiency, and transformative employee and customer experiences.

There is immense pressure on IT. Now more than ever, IT teams bear the brunt of the seismic shift in how people live and work. Delivering service quality while driving innovation is imperative. Yet, IT teams are continually fighting outage fires, managing day-to-day events, updating legacy systems, and navigating IT complexity – while trying to innovate. AIOps and cloud computing sought to address these challenges.

When service outages happen, the clock starts ticking, not only to restore that service, but also to identify and fix the root cause so the problem doesn’t recur again and again. However, root cause analysis (RCA) can be exceptionally time-consuming for IT teams tasked with combing through massive log files for clues about the underlying problem.

Global organizations are having increasingly critical discussions around the importance of cyber resiliency, an organization’s ability to withstand, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents. With the frequency of cyberattacks growing 30% since last year and the total estimated fallout of cyber 2024 cyberattacks charted to surpass $9.5 trillion, ensuring effective cyber hygiene and resiliency strategies is more important than ever.

From the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to GDPR and more, public sector agencies must comply with a myriad of IT regulatory requirements. These regulations ensure proper financial management and stewardship, security, governance, operational efficiency and effectiveness, incident management – and ultimately, assure public trust and accountability.

The past few years have been dominated by digital transformation characterized by a move away from legacy on-premises systems to the cloud. However, there are also instances when bringing certain assets back from the cloud – a process known as “cloud repatriation” – can be a strategic and cost-effective move. Questions persist about when cloud repatriation makes sense and how organizations should craft their strategy.
