Digital transition and security - faster, now... that's the reality for IT Departments, who are under constant pressure to adapt. This is a phenomenon that is seeing the implementation of agile methods and, at the same time, the need to think in terms of scaling up. An agility that can only exist thanks to constant monitoring of trends and long-term anticipation, demonstrating their ability to adapt to changes in the market.
