Tigera 2023 predictions: Cloud native security and the shifting landscape in 2023
Cloud computing and the use of cloud native architectures enable unparalleled performance, flexibility, and velocity. The speed of innovation has driven significant advancements across industries, but as digitalization continues pushing applications and services to the cloud, bad actors’ intrusion techniques have also become more sophisticated. The burgeoning threat landscape is top of mind for enterprise and midmarket business and security leaders, and should lead their decision-making—from the right solutions to implement, to the right partners to engage.
Economic conditions tightening and macroeconomic forces will continue introducing challenges in the coming year, but businesses that sustainably provide value to their customers and make security a foundational aspect of their organization will thrive.
Here are some trends I anticipate for 2023:

This inflection is driven by the accelerating accessibility and usability of the tools and technologies available, as the early majority prioritizes platforms that work easily over those with advanced functions that they likely won’t use.
