Worldwide IT spending is projected to total $3.8 trillion in 2019, an increase of 3.2 percent from expected spending of $3.7 trillion in 2018, according to the latest forecast by Gartner.
“While currency volatility and the potential for trade wars are still playing a part in the outlook for IT spending, it is the shift from ownership to service that is sending ripples through every segment of the forecast. What this signals, for example, is more enterprise use of cloud services — instead of buying their own servers, they are turning to the cloud. As enterprises continue their digital transformation efforts, shifting to ‘pay for use’ will continue. This sets enterprises up to deal with the sustained and rapid change that underscores digital business.” -John-David Lovelock, Research Vice President, Gartner

Enterprise software spending is forecast to experience the highest growth with an 8.3 percent increase in 2019. Software as a service (SaaS) is driving growth in almost all software segments, particularly customer relationship management (CRM), due to increased focus on providing better customer experiences.
Cloud software will grow at more than 22 percent this year compared with 6 percent growth for all other forms of software. While core applications such as ERP, CRM and supply chain continue to get the lion share of dollars, security and privacy are of particular interest right now. Eighty-eight percent of recently surveyed global CIOs have deployed or plan to deploy cybersecurity software and other technology in the next 12 months.
In January 2024, a misconfigured API exposed 650,000 private messages. These included passwords and internal communications. No exploit chain. No zero-day. Just a public-facing endpoint with no authentication. This wasn’t an isolated incident. From T-Mobile and Twitter (now X) to Kronos Research and the US Treasury, attackers have consistently used APIs as entry points. They […]
APIs are now the top attack vector in enterprise apps. In 2024 alone, breaches tied to APIs cost an average of $4.88 million, and that number is rising fast. Attackers exploit gaps in API authentication, input validation, and outdated endpoints to compromise systems. Legacy controls no longer suffice, and the OWASP API Top 10 outlines […]
APIs are the backbone of today’s interconnected software. They power everything from mobile apps and SaaS platforms to internal microservices and partner integrations. But their rapid growth has left many security teams flat-footed. In 2025, many attackers prefer to exploit API misconfigurations hiding in plain sight. What used to be fringe cases (token leakage, zombie […]
APIs are no longer an edge case. In 2025, they’re a core requirement for maintaining trust, compliance, and operational continuity. As organizations build more API-driven systems—from customer apps to internal microservices—the exposure risk compounds. And quickly, too. Even mature security teams are finding that traditional tools can’t keep pace with the volume, velocity, and nuance […]
