The cloud grows… Companies are concerned about investing in manpower and security

With the global economic slowdown next year, each company's cloud adoption is expected to continue to grow. However, the lack of human resources and the increase in cybersecurity threats are expected to emerge as a difficult task for companies.

On July 7, the US Genet forecasts the cloud market next year and analyzes that it will be concerned about investment due to the lack of technical manpower and increasing cybersecurity threats in high cloud demand.

According to a recent Gartner survey, spending on world public cloud services is expected to reach $591.8 billion, up 20.7% from $4903 billion this year. This is an increase from this year's growth rate of 18.8%.

KPMG's 2022 Global Tech Port said that nine out of 10 companies around the world are trying to adopt the cloud for the purpose of promoting the cloud, and 73%of the organizations are implementing a work-road relocation strategy to the cloud. The cloud is based on the technical basis of various companies.

The growth of the cloud is expected to continue for a while, but companies that have adopted the cloud are having a problem that is hard to solve. It is a technical personnel problem.

This change will provide a lot of opportunities to software engineers, data scientists, and other skilled workers, said Lisa Venetian, the chief digital officer of the global digital officer (CDO).

The high level of interdependence between new data technologies such as machine learning and natural language processing and cloud platforms is especially difficult for legacy technology organizations, he explained.

The knowledge of expertise required to increase cloud adoption is a key task for companies that are at the time of the expiration of the legacy system and the interruption of new and existing platforms.

It can be difficult for companies to improve the technology of the existing enterprise application team. You may need to prepare a completely new talent group that is hard to hire today. According to KPMG, the lack of talent remains the largest barrier to organizations that adopt digital technology.

The lack of cybersecurity employees, facing double tasks such as extreme demand, high levels of stress and burnout loss, has been particularly serious in the past few years. IT and business leaders have now realized that they should include cybersecurity in all business decisions. Ransomware outside of malware is evolving, and hackers constantly find new technologies and attack elements. Companies are witnessing malicious attacks in all IT parts that need to be defended.

David Hewitt IBM Cloud Platform, director of the IBM Cloud Platform, said, Everywhere in the data, malicious actors will follow..

As the digital infrastructure becomes more complicated, Ginger should not be a victim of Frankel Cloud, which is difficult to explore and almost impossible to secure security, he added.

The third and fourth-party dependencies of cloud services are good food for hackers. There is a vulnerability in the blind spot where companies are difficult to capture. David Hewitt warned, Before this problem is a major problem that cannot be managed, it should be identified and solved.

As the organization takes a hybrid cloud approach, we should not slow down the boundaries, he said. I emphasized.

To properly manage security risks, you need an authorized IT leadership that has been given the right to speak to strategic decision-making processes. Although it was at first glance, the technical leaders of each company often have no strong speaking rights to business.

David Quite said, Rather than taking an overly enthusiastic full replacement approach, we need to see what environment and infrastructure type is most suitable, he said. And it can lead to an increase in cost savings over time.

The overall cloud market is expected to grow, but it can be somewhat different by cloud. Gartner predicts that cloud platform services (PAAs) and software services (SaaS) will be most affected by inflation over the next 12 months. This is partly due to the workforce problem. The development of modern SaaS applications requires higher wages and more skilled employees to develop modern SaaS applications, so the organization will have difficulty in reducing recruitment for cost control.

Organizations can only be spent as much as they have, he said. Considering that the cloud continues to occupy the largest part of IT expenditure and proportion to the budget increase, cloud expenditure can decrease if the overall IT budget decreases.

Nevertheless, the outlook for cloud experts and other workers next year is still optimistic.

KPMG Senegal's CDO said, Companies continue to recognize the value and necessity of the cloud, and jobs in this part are expected to be as strong as the recession in 2023, he said. It means to identify the possible benefits and to convey clearly and look at it as an attractive job.
