We’re about to witness
the biggest shift in tech in a generation. The buzzword-loaded, hyped areas of
AI, machine learning, blockchain and AR are all impressive in their own right
but were previously siloed. Convergence between these technologies will unlock
an incredible amount of value for business as they become integrated into
standard processes, leading to unprecedented productivity gains.
In no other technical industry, would an 80% rate
of functionality be acceptable for any product. But in the security industry,
thanks to the buzzword convergence replacing the real word, substantive
progress on convergence just didn’t happen. A huge gap exists between the
security industry’s state of technology and the state of technology in IT.
The term is useful and has a precise definition in its
original area of application, before it comes into use as a buzzword. Then it
becomes fashionable among non-specialists as a way of impressing others,
and simultaneously loses its precise meaning among the broader
audience. People try to figure it out its meaning from the
context in which it is used, and it becomes a foggy concept that people equate
with other terms they know, or they decide that it’s really a meaningless term
being used to hype something up. Either way, they are cut off from the fruits
of knowledge, and don’t get the true and original message of the term.
