Surveyed IT leaders expressed both optimism and concern—citing data security, staffing shortages, and compliance as persistent pain points. The call for real-time visibility, automated threat detection, and cross-platform flexibility has never been louder, especially amid uncertain federal funding and an evolving threat landscape.
