The importance of building and managing security, reliable networks has grown more important than ever. Whether it’s digital transformations, cloud transformations, AI transformations, network transformations, or data transformations—the network powers everything. In managing these transformations, enterprises are grappling with many issues: Security, data governance, cloud costs, application flexibility, and more. AI has only served to accelerate this trend. AI turbo-charges the need for secure access to data, clouds, and private data centers. The networks that connect this infrastructure must be robust, flexible, and secure.
“AI will drive the next generation of network infrastructure and security requirements for organizations,” said Scott Raynovich, Founder and Chief Technology Analyst at Futuriom. “This will increase the requirements for enterprise networks, and capabilities such as those provided by Aryaka AI>Perform as part of their Unified SASE solution are needed to ensure successful value realization of enterprise AI applications.”
