Gartner’s annual Hype Cycle reports are back, offering invaluable insights into the evolving tech landscape. This year, InfoSec Global has been named in three of Gartner's prestigious Hype Cycles: Deep Technologies, Application Security, and Data Security. This recognition highlights the unique transformative power of our cryptography inventory and agile cryptography management solutions.
Understanding Gartner Hype Cycles
The highly anticipated Hype Cycle series of reports helps leaders understand key technology developments and where to invest in the years ahead. Hype Cycles provide a roadmap for understanding the maturity and adoption of emerging technologies. These charts track a technology's journey from initial excitement to widespread implementation. By identifying where technology stands in its lifecycle, organizations can make informed decisions about investment and adoption strategies. Essentially, Hype Cycles serve as a 'buyer's guide' for technology leaders, helping them assess the potential of new solutions and identify potential vendors. Our inclusion in multiple Hype Cycles demonstrates InfoSec Global's position as a pioneer in cryptography inventory and agile cryptography management.
Gartner Recognizes InfoSec Global in Three Hype Cycles
InfoSec Global is listed as a sample vendor under the Crypto-Agility category in each Hype Cycle. According to Gartner, "Crypto-agility is the capability to transparently swap out encryption algorithms and related artifacts in an application, replacing them with newer, different and, presumably, safer algorithms." Crypto-agility is extremely important in the context of quantum computing as this emerging technology has the potential to break existing cryptography. Gartner recommends building a cryptographic inventory now to help scope the cryptographic migration project and identify critical systems and data, allowing a controlled rollover to quantum-safe cryptography.
Deep Technologies Hype Cycle
"Deep technology innovations combine science, R&D and engineering to solve the seemingly unsolvable with transformative impact across business and society over the next decade." Our inclusion emphasizes the groundbreaking nature of cryptographic agility, a solution that addresses the limitations of static cryptography and paves the way for a future-proofed security posture.
Application Security Hype Cycle
"This Hype Cycle tracks the maturity and adoption of processes and technologies that can help organizations advance their application security program." The inclusion here reinforces the critical role of crypto agility in bolstering application security. By enabling cryptography to be visible and controlled in a policy-driven manner, we empower organizations to be ready for a dynamic future as cryptographic algorithms evolve more frequently and rapidly than in the past.
Data Security Hype Cycle
“This Hype Cycle covers many aspects of data security that security and risk management (SRM) leaders must review in relation to their risk appetite and where data is stored, processed and accessed.” Our presence in this category underscores the fundamental connection between cryptography and robust data protection practices. By ensuring the continuous monitoring of cryptography, InfoSec Global empowers organizations to safeguard their most sensitive assets.
