As a result, CIOs, network engineers, and IT directors significantly emphasised on reinforcing the need for increasing security measures and the network security market experienced an appreciable amount of growth. However, amidst all the talk, security was and still is often found to be barricading the seamlessness of enterprise networking, giving birth to common concerns like need for improved network-access visibility and assurance of readily responding to threats.Looking forward to 2020, when 1 million new devices are predicted to be added online every hour, the above concerns will continue to proliferate and the amount of opportunities and challenges, pertaining to securing the enterprise, will exponentially escalate. Henceforth, network providers will strive harder to incorporate deep learning and machine intelligence within neural networks to make business processes future-ready and ensure that security forms the DNA of tomorrow's enterprise networks. Apart from unprecedented security, advancements in the fields of SD WAN, analytics, automation, and orchestration are also going to catapult the ever-evolving networking topology from legacy virtual infrastructures to agile software-defined implementations.Briefly, the future of networking awaits the art of blending human-alike capabilities to an intent-based networking system, that will continue to become smarter and more predictive and thus possess capabilities to monitor network performance, identify issues, and solve problems autonomously without manual intervention.The current edition of APAC CIO outlook brings to you list of companies offering Networking Solutions.
