The global Study on Closing the IT Security Gap: Addressing Cybersecurity Gaps from Edge to Cloud, now in its third year, is sponsored by Hewlett Packard Enterprises (HPE) to look deeply into the critical actions needed to close security gaps and protect valuable data. In this year’s research, Ponemon Institute surveyed 2,084 IT and IT security practitioners in North America, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Japan, and for the first time, France. All participants in this research are knowledgeable about their organizations’ IT security and strategy and are involved in decisions related to the investment in technologies.

At HPE, we believe that our individual and collective success lies in our ability to share learnings, ideas and opportunities. When it comes to securing our respective organizations, we’ve all plagued by the same challenges: a global cybersecurity skills shortage, an expanding attack surface, distributed data, and increasing demands from transparency from stakeholders. This report showcases some of the work we’ve done on that front during 2022 and some predictions for 2023.
