Forrester Consulting research: Regaining control with a connectivity cloud

How a new type of cloud can tame IT and security complexity

Securing modern work has never been more complicated. With the rise of “work-from-anywhere”, the public cloud, and the public Internet, IT and security teams are tasked with connecting and protecting an infinite permutation of users, devices, networks, and applications. All of these domains have differing requirements and provide less visibility and control than legacy on-premise environments.

In August 2023, Cloudflare commissioned Forrester Consulting to evaluate the growing complexity of IT and security operations. In a survey to global IT and security decision makers, the research firm found that their responsibilities have significantly increased and grown in complexity over the last three years. The additional complexity has caused organisations to lose control over their digital environments, resulting in consequential impacts to the business.
