Data Protection Trends Report 2024

In late 2023, an independent research firm surveyed 1,200 IT leaders and implementers on a wide range of their data protection challenges and strategies. This is the fifth annual release of the Data Protection Trends report in its current methodology* to quantify the challenges and drivers of the data protection industry, always using analyst and research firms to garner an impartial understanding of how data protection must continue to evolve.

2024 is starting off with IT teams having an interest in changing solutions and their own roles, which will either radically improve their cyber preparedness and compliance postures or further widen the expectations between what business units are expecting and what IT is able to deliver.
