More so than ever, enterprises are taking the next steps to become digitally reliant businesses. While underway prior to 2020, the pandemic formidably accelerated digital transformation as the world relied on internet communications for nearly all of their day-to-day activities. DE-CIX conducted a market survey exploring how companies’ digital transformation will continue to evolve in the coming years.

Key findings of the enterprise digital transformation survey follows:
- 50 % of corporate IT managers have concerns about confidential information being exposed via security threats on the public Internet
