9. Mobile in Enterprise
Gartner forecasts that in 2016, half of all non-PC
devices will be purchased by employees. By the end
of the decade, half of all devices in business will be
purchased by employees.
By 2016, 60% of large enterprises will implement
limited access network zones to limit the connectivity
of personally owned mobile devices.
Gartner predicts that through 2017, 90% of
enterprises will have two or more mobile operating
systems to support.

10. Security Trends
Security investments are going to dramatically
increase. An already large security market is about to
get much bigger, growing by 56% from current levels
in five years time, while cloud security will almost
triple.
More than 50% of firms currently providing identity
access management as a service (IAMaaS) and
cloud-based IAM solutions will be acquired by larger
service providers by year-end 2015.

11. Security Trends
Through 2013, 80% of cloud security incidents will be
due to administrative error by cloud service providers
or user management of cloud services.
For low-security environments, or for workloads that
have simple security requirements, relying on the
security built into structure or into the public cloud
service will be good enough
At the high end, security will be kept separate from
private or public cloud infrastructure -- just as we did
when internal networks were virtualized

12. Security Trends
The vast middle will compromise and run security
workloads in the private cloud and public cloud
environments.
There is an urgent need for companies to separate
personal and business operations on consumer
smartphones and tablets (both company- and user-
owned)
