Re: 56%
I always wonder if they're willing to accept a certain level of insecurity because it's someone else's problem. They are concerned about it, but not so much that action is required.

Ever notice how in all of these surveys, the majority (or, at least, plurality) of respondents always cite "security concerns" on whatever the tech topic is?

And yet, these executives don't really seem to be doing much about these security concerns, do they?

I suspect that "security concerns" are simply a fact of life that many execs (both inside and outside of IT/InfoSec) have come to live with -- and/or think of as an SEP (Somebody Else's Problem).

Re: Digital transformation
I always say that security is just as important today as it was years ago. Probably even more important today with how easy it is for people to hack into different systems.

Re: Digital transformation
And ofcourse we shouldn't forget the importance of skills being another critical factor that plays a big role. That needs to be addressed as a priority as well by the companies.

Re: Digital transformation
I agree that network performance is one of the main holding factor for digital transformation. But Security is as important and becomes first on list when you think about customers. In my opinion, customer first wants to make sure their data is secure enough to think of transformation. Then they will worry about how fast or slow the network is.

But in compnaies point of view, network performance is their main barrier that is alowing down their transformation journey.

Security
It is no secret that Security is the main concern for digital transformation. These numbers from the survey are just reassuring the fact. Now when we think about how to overcome this state and get into a more confident level with the security model, I am not sure. There is a lot going on to bring fail proof security model into the industry, but i believe we are not there yet. Till that time security would continue to remian a barrier for digital transformation. Things may step up through the journey

Re: Digital transformation
It's interesting that network performance is what's holding so many companies back, since that seems like the one that would be the easiest obstacle to overcome for a company that can afford it. Security, knowledge & skills strike me as less concrete/tangible with more moving factors than just budget. It will be interesting to see how/if the network providers address the issue, so that their customers can overcome the obstacle and spend more money on other digital transformation related services they offer as well.
