Aryaka recently released its annual report, revealing the latest trends in the evolving network and security market, including the economic and technology decisions that leaders are making to thrive in a world of change. One of the report’s key findings was that senior IT leaders were nearly evenly split regarding the most critical area of improvement for their 2023 networking budgets between network security (36%), network performance (35%), and network monitoring (29%). This reflects the complexity of a hybrid workforce and cloud-first world, and that network and security leaders can no longer choose between investing in application performance or security – they need it all.
“I look forward to working closely with Matt and the incredible Aryaka team to continue growing Aryaka’s business and exceeding customer expectations,” said Harteveld. “Aryaka presented the perfect opportunity to leverage my expertise in helping security businesses successfully take on industry giants. I’m eager to find new ways to help Aryaka disrupt this exciting market and, most importantly, to help provide our customers with the unmatched networking and security solutions and experience they love us for.”
