Look for solutions that bring

3. Proliferation of hybrid environments will trigger more
security breaches
Expect to see more and more security breaches because of the complexities inherent in
a hybrid computing world. Any CISO will tell you: complexity in networking and identity
management introduces risk. Complexity is harder for people to govern, and there are
few, if any, holistic tools that cover all the bases. As companies assemble disparate sys-
tems, they will expand their attack areas and open themselves up to more breaches.
When you have different moving parts that have not played together before, the situa-
tion is ripe for problems.
So look for the introduction of holistic, hybrid security platforms that address the public
and private platforms in a total solution.
4. Enterprises will significantly underfund their training
programs, but programs will improve
As companies integrate new technologies, they need to invest in training to ensure that
the teams managing new projects are operating at peak efficiency. This is a problem
now, and we predict it will get worse. If people are not trained in ways to free themselves
from organizational silos, software release times will suffer and overall expectations will
not be met.
Look for 2019 to be the breakout year for broader training programs with cooperation,
communication and leadership skills at their core instead of technology. The company
