2022 trends for the technology industry for companies

Even though 2022 is already in, there are several projections for the technology industry worth learning about and reviewing in cybersecurity, cloud adoption, digital transformation automation, artificial intelligence, telecommunications, and connectivity.

After a rather complex 2021 due to the pandemic, today seems more prolific regarding the technology industry for companies.

Now, we will review some trends for this year.

The technology industry and cybersecurity

Hybrid work (combining time at the office and home) is a reality that will encompass more and more spaces out of a need in many cases. And even though lessons have been learned from the early times of the pandemic, the truth is that this model still raises doubts. Above all, in aspects such as cybersecurity.

With the expansion of the surface for attacks, there is a greater risk for security. For instance, those who work remotely don’t do it only at home. Some do it at public plazas or restaurants and sign into public networks. However, if such access occurs with poorly configured equipment and weak passwords, it may become a perfect target for a cyberattack.

To deal with the sensitive subject of cybersecurity in the technology industry, organizations must choose solutions such as migrating to a zero-trust management model. This solution is a model based on the «trust and verify» prerequisite. This means that organizations do not trust any internal or external entity that enters their perimeter by default.

Some tools and techniques necessary for zero trust are access control with fewer privileges and asset management, which are already widely used. There are also two essential layers: automation and orchestration and visibility and analysis.

Additionally, we may find blockchain and automatic learning of cybersecurity as key technologies to cope with the variety of existing threats and those that may arise in the future.

Cloud adoption

Many companies in the technology industry choose cloud adoption as a business strategy with new digital demands in mind.

Aside from cloud migration instead of existing systems, there is also an increase in cloud-native technologies, such as containers Kubernetes and the absence of servers. These technologies help organizations build, see, and modernize applications to make them more scalable and secure.

By 2022, professional services associated with migration, architecture, and implementation of solutions, as well as security management, and disaster recovery planning, are expected to become critical to support companies’ migration to the cloud, especially in critical areas such as security, data governance, and cost control.

Digital transformation

Data prioritization will lead the technology industry; to do so, knowing how to manage it will be essential in 2022. Data processing to achieve information, speed, and a method to reach conclusions and achieve loyalty proposals will become the differentiating aspect in this regard.

Thus, big data, AI, data management, cloud computing, and IoT will have a more significant impact and level of adoption across organizations. They will allow greater dynamism, accuracy, and evolution to manage data volumes necessary for proper knowledge and need-based client decision-making.

Automation

Without question, the pandemic accelerated the digital transformation of companies. It can be observed in applying technologies across the company when it comes to automation. In specific projects, strategy design processes go through operation until reaching the end-user.

In this regard, conversational AI, chatbots, and conversational chatbots will grow significantly.

Regarding automation and AI, quantum computing will also be a trend. This will help find the optimum solution in areas such as logistics and programming. Furthermore, it will accelerate areas such as feature mapping, linear equation solutions, grouping, and regression. Likewise, it significantly improves the simulation capacities of companies.
