SSE technologies and solutions have proven effective in reducing the complexity of protecting endpoints while improving the cloud services’ security on an enterprise-wide scale. Virtual workforces, digital-first selling, service, and customer experience are driving the adoption of security services edge (SSE) technologies. Security services edge (SSE) is also new to this year’s Hype Cycle.Gartner’s logic for creating a new category is to track how the dominance of multicloud deployments is forcing enterprises to combine intelligent automation, including cloud security posture management (CSPM) and cloud workload protection platforms (CWPPs), to protect their IaaS-deployed applications. Public cloud deployments continue to outpace and will eventually overtake private datacenter workloads as nearly all organizations migrate to a multicloud strategy. CNAPPs help secure cloud-native applications by consolidating multiple cloud-native tools and data sources, including infrastructure-as-code (IaC) scanning. Cloud-native application protection platforms (CNAPP) are new to this year’s Hype Cycle.Gartner defines CSB as an IT role and business activity in which a company or internal entity adds value to one or more (public or private) cloud services. Multicloud managed services (MCMS) is a new category on this year’s Hype Cycle and was previously referred to as cloud service brokerage (CSB). Gartner has removed cloud security assessments, cloud testing tools and services, disaster recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS) document-centric identity proofing, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect. The latest Hype Cycle profiles 29 technologies, down from 33 last year.
Gartner’s latest Hype Cycle for Cloud Security report reflects the progression enterprises are making in adopting cloud-first strategies across all lines of business and at the infrastructure level. Gartner predicts that through 2025, more than 99% of cloud breaches will be traced back to preventable misconfigurations or mistakes by end users. The more complex an enterprise’s cloud infrastructure is, the more challenging it becomes to secure. The cloud’s enterprise dominance brings more sophisticated, complex cybersecurity risks and breach attempts that require correspondingly higher-level security techniques. The greater the cloud complexity in an enterprise, the greater the cybersecurity risks. By 2023, 70% of all enterprise workloads will be deployed in cloud infrastructure and platform services, up from 40% in 2020. As a result, worldwide public cloud services are predicted to grow from $387.7 billion in 2021 to $805.5 billion in 2025. Gartner cites the accelerating cloud adoption in enterprises following the pandemic, which is expected to drive a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.5%. However, IT skeptics became believers when cloud infrastructure scaled up and down in response to unpredictable workloads with no previous forecast data to rely on. Cloud infrastructure also enabled IT to meet tight time-to-market schedules for new applications and systems.
