Enabling Elections Infrastructure Security with Splunk

The Internet of Things (IoT) represents an enormous opportunity for technology vendors. But selling IoT outcomes – in particular into industries that have deep industrial or operational technology (OT) roots – is a fundamental departure from the traditional IT sale.Vendors face a more complex solution sale that goes beyond the usual IT buyer and involves multiple stakeholders that sit at the crossroads of IT, OT and strategic business agendas. For the first time ever, 451 Research launched a Voice of the Enterprise (VoTE) IoT: OT Stakeholder Perspective survey in addition to the quarterly VotE IoT: survey of IT decision-makers. Together, these two surveys provide complementary insights and guidance into the IT and OT view of enterprise IoT deployments, budgets, spending, technology priorities, vendor choices and more.

In a webinar not to be missed, ‘Is legacy GIS failing network infrastructure companies?’, our panel of experts explore this strategic question in depth and set out recommendations for network operators facing legacy GIS challenges. This webinar is now available to view on demand. Network infrastructure providers are dealing with increasingly complex ecosystems involving a wide range of software applications that support many different field construction and maintenance activities. Core to a technology strategy is a GIS solution, but most were designed 20-30 years ago for the creation and maintenance of paper maps that record network assets.
