Cyber Resilience: Strategies for Operational Continuity in a Troubling Threat Environment

Amy Larsen DeCarlo – Principal Analyst, Security and Data Center Services

Summary Bullets:

• Security resilience, defined as the ability to protect the integrity of every aspect of the business against threats and unexpected conditions, is a top priority for 96% of the 4,751 enterprise organizations surveyed in recent Cisco-sponsored research.

• Of the enterprises queried, 41% report that there had been a major security incident or loss within the last two years.

In a time where enterprise risk is omnipresent, IT professionals operate in a heightened state of alert. Organizations are cognizant of the fact that they are not only being targeted by cybercriminals, but that an intrusion is more likely than not to occur. With this in mind, Cisco conducted its third annual Security Outcomes research to get a sense of what is working for organizations as they strategize to defend their enterprises against a relentless threat environment. The high-level takeaway is that IT departments are making powering through security incidents (not just recovering from them) a top priority, with 96% of the 4,700 surveyed organizations calling cyber resilience a crucial concern for their business.

GSA Report Confirms Key Trends in Private LTE/5G While Highlighting the Difficulty in Tracking Deployments

J. Marcus

Summary Bullets:

• The Global Mobile Suppliers’ Association (GSA) report demonstrates continued growth in private LTE/5G network deployments within key sectors and regions.

• The report is mostly consistent with GlobalData’s own market tracking data, but not always; variances in definitions and available data sources can account for discrepancies between the different databases.

The GSA has published its latest quarterly report on private cellular networks, adding data from another 66 new networks in Q3 2022 (and 214 during Q1 2022 to Q3 2022) for a total of 955. Its aggregate tracking statistics provide perhaps the most comprehensive view of trends in private LTE and 5G technology deployment over the last few years, given the participation of GSA members such as Ericsson, Huawei, Mavenir, and Nokia in the data collection. Among its key messages for Q3 2022 is that the three fastest-growing industry sectors had been mining, defense, and manufacturing. It also reports that manufacturing, education, and mining remain the three largest sectors in terms of number of deployments, although the actual size and scale of deployments varies by user type.
