According to a report from research firm Gartner, Inc., worldwide information technology spending is estimated to hit $3.8 trillion in 2014. That figure represents a 4 percent increase over the total spent in 2013.
Gartner’s new report was discussed in a recent article published on Baselinemag.com.
I’ll leave it to you to read the article for further insight, but one quote from Gartner’s Peter Sondergaard, senior vice president and global head of research, resonated quite strongly with me, so I’ll share it with you now: “The security of embedded technologies that your organization has right now may be the most important operational responsibility you will have in 2020.”
True, 2020 is more than six years away, but between now and then expect a steady increase in the volume of news headlines regarding the heightened importance of securing your company’s networked embedded devices.
Also, I encourage you to learn more about what we’re doing from a technology standpoint to ensure our devices help you stay ahead of the security curve. Visit our Xerox ConnectKey page for additional information.
