For IT of 2020, big data explosion presents life, death security risks
Big data management both inside and outside the enterprise of 2020 will present life and death risks to both humans and organizations and make cybersecurity a constant concern for IT.
That message about the enterprise of the future came during the welcome address during the annual Gartner Symposium/ITExpo, going on this week.
Peter Sondergaard, Gartner's senior vice president of research, said enterprises are entering the era of the digital industrial economy. He moved the clock ahead seven years to 2020 so he could "help [CIOs] write their digital story for this exciting future." In terms of big data and security, he told CIOs, "You should anticipate events and headlines that continuously raise public awareness and create fear."
