Enterprise Value Deployment Risk Adoption Phase

The value factor awarded to each technology
is based on the analysis of value drivers,
including improved speed and agility, enhanced
developer experience or productivity, increased
cost efficiency or savings, delivery of superior
capabilities to business and/or customers,
and enabling resilience and reliability.
The risk factor awarded to each technology
is based on the analysis of potential risks
posed, including cybersecurity risk, talent
unavailability, high or unpredictable costs,
and technical incompatibility or
architectural complexity.
The adoption phase is determined by the
current deployment plans for a majority of
organizations. Technologies placed on the
border between phases are on the cusp of
moving into the next deployment phase.

Key Take-Aways
Security and Risk Management

SRM leaders believe they are unlikely to see budget cuts, with over 80%
anticipating an increase in their cybersecurity budgets in 2023.
Security and Risk Management (SRM) leaders are deploying application and data
security solutions in the near term, with a longer horizon for infrastructure and
perimeter security.
SRM leaders mainly expect to derive speed and agility benefits from adopting
technologies.
SRM leaders perceive the deployment of application and data security
technologies to be relatively lower risk compared to infrastructure and perimeter
security technologies.
Organizations are deploying technologies aimed at reducing unforeseen cloud or
web application attacks in the wake of rapid digital transformation.
SRM leaders realize the necessity of making the cloud more secure as their
organizations continue to transition to a multi-cloud strategy.
With an expanding ecosystem and growing number of third-party providers, SRM
leaders are consciously valuing the importance of protecting the endpoints.
Increasing cloud adoption, flexibility of work and remote access has made it
critical for SRM leaders to lean on cost-benefit analysis, and push the case for
infrastructure security.
“Vendor supply chain disruption” was cited as a critical risk factor affecting the
adoption of SSE and ZTNA by the respondents.
SRM leaders are strongly driving the deployment of security solutions that protect
production or mission critical infrastructure.
