The Top UK Security Priorities in 2023, According to Info-Tech Research Group

'In the constantly evolving world of technology, IT security continues to be a top priority for individuals and organisations alike', says Executive Councilor Ian Tyler-Clarke. "As technology continues to advance, it is essential to stay ahead of emerging threats and ensure the protection of sensitive information. In 2023, we can expect to see a rise in cloud-based security solutions, artificial intelligence-powered threat detection, and increased emphasis on employee education and cybersecurity awareness. Security leaders and CIOs must stay at the forefront of these developments and provide best-in-class security solutions to secure their digital assets.'

Info-Tech's annual security priorities are based on primary data obtained from interviews with security and IT leaders, as well as from the firm's 2023 Tech Trends report and upcoming State of Hybrid Work in IT: A Trend Report, set to be released in March 2023. The new security priorities report focuses on data that details the likely changes in processes and IT infrastructure due to hybrid work, concerns and perceptions about readiness to meet current and future legislation, and the impact of a potential recession on security budgets.

'Aside from ransomware and the hybrid work model, in 2022, we saw an evolving threat landscape, regulatory changes, and the potential for a recession by the end of 2023', explains Ida Siahaan, research director and lead analyst for the report. 'Furthermore, organisations are still facing the ongoing issues of insufficient cybersecurity resources and organisation modernisation, all of which impact how we prioritise cybersecurity over the coming year.'

The firm advises that security and IT leaders keep the following five priorities top of mind as they work towards modernising their organisations, securing hybrid work environments, and mitigating risks and cyber threats:

The Security Priorities 2023 report also includes recommended actions in addition to templates for security and technology leaders that can be used to explain each of the priorities to their stakeholders.
