The Info-Tech's report focuses on data that details the likely changes in processes and IT infrastructure due to hybrid work, concerns and perceptions about readiness to meet current and future legislation, and the impact of a potential recession on security budgets.

Security leaders must address the risk of converging environments by combining IT and OT security to protect the entire organization.
