The Hype Cycle™ for Security Operations has recently been unveiled, and we believe it’s already making waves in the cybersecurity landscape. Gartner Hype Cycles provide a graphical representation of the maturity and adoption of technologies and applications, and how they are potentially relevant to solving real business problems. We’re excited to see Automated Security Control Assessment (ASCA) highlighted as a key innovation and are honored to have Nagomi Security recognized in this report.
Why the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ Matters
This year’s Hype Cycle™ features significant movement for identity threat detection and response (ITDR), extended protection and response (XDR) and co-managed monitoring services. SRM leaders are called to action to fortify digital identities and identity infrastructure using ITDR products and services. We feel this report is a trusted resource for decision-makers, providing insights into which technologies are gaining traction and which are still in the early stages of development.
