What is the Gartner Hype Cycle for Security Products? Demystifying the Hype Cycle for CDR
Security Boulevard, Thursday, June 1,2023
In information security, technologies change very quickly. Security has a fast cycle of innovation: product builders launch new products quickly, adapting to the needs of the market and cybersecurity defenders, with the expectation that these products and solutions will mature and become widely adopted across various industries over time.
Gartner produces annual Hype Cycle reports (for example, the Hype Cycle for Endpoint Security) for various security technology categories in order to help security leaders pinpoint the maturity stage of these categories. Understanding where any given technology is in this maturity cycle is crucial for businesses looking to adopt new solutions geared towards innovation, minimize risk, and make decisions that will achieve immediate and long-term returns on investment (ROI).
