To paraphrase the familiar yuletide song, in the world of IT this is “the most speculative time of the year.” True, tying predictions to the regular calendar may be a bit out of sync for much of the business and government world—the federal fiscal year begins on Oct. 1, and here at Synopsys we say Happy First Quarter on Nov. 1. But we all still celebrate the new year on New Year’s Day.

Our journey in 2021 With many organizations adopting hybrid work models over the last year, there was a steady increase in the volume and severity of cyberattacks.

The holiday season is a hectic time for businesses but this year has brought additional challenges in supply chain delivery and staffing shortages.

It’s that time of year again — full of ugly sweaters, holiday cookies and technology predictions (cloud-native style)! Last year, we predicted that we’d see continued Kubernetes adoption, focus on DevSecOps in organizations and open source dominance.

The holidays are coming up quickly and while many of us are looking forward to getting some human downtime (not technical), some may be feeling the pressure and some stress to make sure everything that needs to be done by the end of the year is in fact done by then, especially with the ongoing log4j aka log4shell security fires happening.

As a startup, you might have branded swag well before a cybersecurity strategy. And it’s not hard to understand why. Printing stickers is easy.
