Security is not surprisingly the top challenge facing the wireless market. The industry didn't solve this problem during the past year, but there is evidence of significant progress being made; for example, the 802.11i Task Group is currently working on its new security standard, IEEE 802.11i (see "The WLAN's Weakest Link").
Of course, problems in the wireless market extend beyond security. With standards evolving rapidly, there's plenty of anxiety about infrastructure investment protection. Performance concerns fester, with many IT professionals lamenting a return to the good old days of shared-media network systems, a development that has wireless vendors stretching the meaning of a network switch. And the biggest challenge that has network managers scratching their heads: How are they going to manage all this new stuff?

To realize the benefits of cloud-native software, an application must actually be cloud-native—designed to run in the cloud, interacting with disaggregated cloud services, fully manageable as code—to deliver the expected benefits.
By combining resources and expertise, the AI-Enabled ICT Workforce Consortium will offer a blueprint for how industries can adapt to an AI-dominated future.
IT leaders should heed the guidance of cybersecurity insurance providers who think businesses should prioritize security education, incident preparedness, regular internal audits, and ongoing vulnerability scanning and patching.
