Increased Security and Focus on Compliance

“Here are my “top 5” list of predictions for 2022:

1. Continued focus on security to include significant advances in work-from-home pricing and support model.

2. There will be a primary focus of IT teams on GRC (governance, risk and compliance) that will include technologies like AI-assisted products and services.

3. Ransomware will continue to evolve with the adoption of technologies like immutable storage, EDR, XDR and MDR. Along with this I am expecting to see a resurgence in technologies like application ring fencing.

4. Enhanced wireless internet connectivity through the continued implementation of Starlink and 5G will fuel cloud adoption and even spur the beginning of a shift from cellphones to data-aware wearables; these will be things like watches, virtual reality glasses, rings, smart collars and the like.

5. The automotive industry will see a host of new technology adoptions to include things like: automatic braking, vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) and the continued adoption of electric vehicles. In general I would say that there are going to be significant advances or adoption of many green technologies.

“I believe that 2022 will hold a whole new host of challenges and rewards for those service providers that are willing and able to stop and think about how they can participate in this work from home, digital everything/hack everything environment economy we are all part of.
