Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Machine Learning (ML). Innovation with regulation
With a projected market size of $2 trillion by 2030. This technology is expected to reduce operational costs by 20% across industries, reaching a market size of $298 billion by 2023. Gartner's forecast reveals that by 2026, over 80% of companies will have utilised Generative AI APIs and models, an increase from less than 5% in early 2023. This will democratise knowledge and skills throughout businesses, making vast sources of information readily available to users. However there are governance and regulatory risks that come with new technology.
Key Takeaways:
- Balancing innovation with governance and regulatory controls
- Training and upskilling of staff to effectively utilise emerging technologies.

Maximising Efficiency: Unlocking the Power of SOC Automation
In today's rapidly evolving threat landscape, organisations face a deluge of security alerts, with an estimated 70% of alerts going uninvestigated due to lack of resources. However, with the implementation of Security Operations Centre (SOC) automation, companies have reported a 76% reduction in time to detect threats and a 63% decrease in the time required to resolve incidents. Furthermore, 85% of organisations have seen an increase in their overall security posture after integrating automation into their SOC workflows.Key Takeaways:
- Efficiency Boost: SOC automation significantly reduces response times, allowing teams to focus on more strategic tasks
- Enhanced Security: Automation leads to improved threat detection and response, ultimately bolstering the organisation's security posture
Cloud Adoption and Optimisation
Companies are increasingly moving to multi-cloud environments and cloud adoption and optimisation is critical when migrating applications, data and infrastructure to cloud based platforms to ensure optimal utilisation, cost effectiveness and flexibility.
