What traditional thinkers failed to anticipate is the pace of transformation. Beginning with initial adoption, the industry has seen rapid scaling in the entire industry.

An important finding comes from recent research: what worked in the past rarely succeeds now or in the future.

Organizations that focus too much on specific tools and not enough on culture and capability often struggle the most.

The broader implications extends far beyond the obvious effects. Appreciating these complexities proves important for organizations seeking to maintain advantage.

Key Points

• Emerging standards are changing the way that organizations approach security.
• Legacy strategies regarding performance demand significant rethinking.
• Investment in capability building will likely prove more important than pursuing trendy technologies.
