The cloud is necessary but a disruption.
While spending on SaaS is growing faster than spending on traditional software, Gartner predicts that, by 2017, 75% of cloud acquisition will be unapproved and untracked.
Gartner also states that by 2019, cloud computing and the new digital economy will cause subscription pricing to overtake perpetual licensing and maintenance.
Also, according to Gartner, by 2019, annual spending on enterprise software licenses will decrease by 30% as a result of software license optimization.
Criminals are becoming more sophisticated. They follow where the business is. Be ready for them. It is a game of cat and mouse. We make changes, they make changes. They find new holes to exploit, we find new ways to conduct our investigations. Be ready for them.
