EDITOR ’ S COMMENT
Welcome to Issue 50 of Intelligent Tech Channels . A recent study by Nutanix has revealed the healthcare findings of its global Enterprise Cloud Index ( ECI ) survey and research report , which measures enterprise progress with cloud adoption in the industry . The research showed that healthcare organisations appear to be in the early phases of cloud adoption and behind the crossindustry global respondent average . However , adoption is expected to jump from 27 % to 51 % in the next three years , in line with the global trend . In this regard , we continue to cover articles in this edition of the magazine addressing the issue of cloud adoption in the healthcare sector and the opportunities for channel partners .
Gracing the cover of this month ’ s edition , is Saket Modi , Co-founder and CEO , Safe Security , who tells us how the company is developing its security channel business globally and working with reseller partners in the broader EMEA region . Among the many insights , Modi shares that : “ Cybersecurity today is fundamentally broken . It is siloed , highly reactive , and does not talk the language of business . The biggest challenge in enterprise cybersecurity is the disconnect between security products and business units . In this regard , we have a very aggressive growth strategy , and strategic collaborations with channel partners in the EMEA region that are key to our growth globally . Through our SaaS platform SAFE , channel partners have a unique proposition that enables them to be the trusted end-to-end cybersecurity advisors for their customers .” You can read more by turning to page 19 .
