While public clouds dominate the hype cycle, CIOs and CTOs are threading the needle with a hybrid cloud strategy, which makes use of the scale and flexibility of the public cloud. It also ensures compliance and other requirements are met with an on-premises or private cloud. In a recent Everest Group survey, 72% of respondents described their cloud strategy as hybrid-first.
Companies that once battled to hire employees close to home are now turning to Latin America and other markets for talent.
Many new hires are coming from countries like the Philippines, Argentina, Brazil, and India. While tech companies have long sought out those markets to cheaply staff call centers, content moderator positions, and IT departments, they are now following talent to fill open roles on any of their teams. “We used to think of this as a cost arbitrage story—you hire in Mexico or India because it’s cheaper,” says Jimit Arora, Partner at Everest Group. “Now I see this as a talent arbitrage story. You go where the talent is.”
The pandemic has accelerated the pace of digital transformation, specifically in the adoption of cloud, hybrid environments, and other emerging technologies. However, it has also increased the attack surface and exposed loopholes in enterprise cybersecurity constructs. Not only has the pandemic increased the already existing challenges around alert overload, the cybersecurity talent shortage, the lack of threat management capabilities, and more, but it has also uncovered the inability of enterprises to manage and thwart these ever-growing attacks.
Managed Security Services (MSS) providers have gained traction because of their ability to provide agility, scale, cost savings, and resiliency during these tough times. Enterprises are seeking third-party support from these providers for intelligence-led threat hunting and detection, orchestration and automation of alerts underpinned by modular, platform-led operations, reduced incident response times, and cyber forensics.
