Integrated Security solutions hotest market for IT

With the increase in the frequency and severity of cyber-attacks, security providers should be in for especially brisk business. Big Data, still fresh in the minds of most technology pundits and professionals, continues to rule the roost.

The rise of machine-to-machine communications (M2M) has been one of the most interesting trends today. Technologies are driving process innovation, reducing operational costs, and the need for transformation is in great demand. There is an explosion of data generated by the network of Internet-connected devices, which is called Internet of Things (IoT). The potential value of IOE in India is $18-billion opportunity and IoE has the potential to grow global corporate profits by 21 per cent in aggregate by 2022.

Here is a piece of good news again for more Internet penetration in the country. Government’s rolled out an ambitious project to connect the rural India. The Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) created by the government has envisaged connecting 250,000 gram panchayats across the country in a span of two years. This will require the sustainability of NOFN.

Today, information technology is undergoing rapidly-changing landscape. The demands by business stakeholders are increasing. With the user base of social media touching 1.5 billion, the barriers imposed earlier by time and geography have been broken. However, the growing security concerns have led to rise in the necessity of secured data center. It is in the essential fitness of things that data center must be made secure. It is no wonder that business for secured data centers is booming.

As social technologies mature and companies become sure and sanguine of their power, social intelligence is coming to the forefront of conscious attention. Being hailed as something with the potential to increase the growth prospects of an organization, social intelligence helps in making strategic business decisions in a myriad of ways. To sum up, social intelligence can play a surprisingly pivotal role in how information is sourced, collected, analyzed, distributed, resulting in the enablement of better decisions. This was the theme in the 12th VARINDIA Star Nite Awards which took place recently in the Capital where everyone was talking about how IT is playing an intrinsic part in building the social infrastructure, which was well addressed by the industry experts.

In the coming year, I foresee integrated security solutions will play an important role in refining security.

I wish all the readers a great New Year 2014 ahead.
