However you do it, cybersecurity mesh is a key component of good cyber hygiene. Worklets can also facilitate other system configurations like helping you meet cybersecurity compliance benchmarks with automation. Other examples of how they can be used include: At Automox, we call these scripts Worklets™ and they allow security and IT operations to create, automate, and enforce custom tasks across operating systems. One way you can enhance your security posture is to leverage the power of automated custom scripts. The trend towards cybersecurity mesh is all about centralizing the orchestration and enforcement of policies to make security more responsive. How does that work, exactly?Ĭybersecurity mesh architecture uses a number of enterprise parts (like technologies, business capabilities, applications, etc.) to integrate widely distributed and disparate security services. With so many endpoints now residing outside of typical security perimeters, cybersecurity mesh refers to a composable architecture that helps you scale - and integrate - your IT footprint faster. Our hybrid and distributed workforces are making effective cyber hygiene policies more vital than ever. Gartner claims that data fabric can reduce data management efforts by up to 70% by using artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics to learn and actively recommend where data should be used and changed. So, what is data fabric? It involves the integration of data sources across platforms and business users, making data available everywhere it’s needed regardless of where it actually lives. When I came across the term “data fabric” on Gartner’s list, I was reminded of a phrase my engineer self referred to quite frequently: network fabric.Ĭisco defines network fabric as a “mesh of connections between network devices such as access points, switches, and routers that transports data to its destination.” In my previous life, I was a network engineer. So, without further ado, join me as I review Gartner’s Top Strategic Technology Trends for 2022 and highlight their projected impacts on IT operations teams. In their recent roundup of predictions for the tech industry, Gartner listed 12 trends they believe will “act as force multipliers of digital business and innovation” over the next three to five years. Many technology leaders and enterprises look forward to these year-end predictions to see if their vision aligns with what the experts say about the near future. IT industry predictions for the New YearĮvery December, industry pundits and prognosticators issue their predictions for the new year and beyond (Automox released its own list of IT industry trends to look out for in 2022 here).


We can especially learn a lot from industry peers. For instance, you just can’t ignore the numerous, high-profile and well-publicized ransomware attacks that impacted thousands of companies.Īs we jump into a new year, we can learn a great deal from looking back and taking stock of our wins and major upsets.

Together, these advances undoubtedly enhanced the human condition.īut just as we saw great strides, 2021 also showed us a darker side of technology. We saw tremendous advances in commercial space travel, the popularization of electric vehicles, breakthroughs in display screens, and even rapid development of at-home COVID-19 test kits. Gartner’s 2022 Top Technology Trends and Their Implications for IT OperationsĢ021 was a landmark year for all things tech.
