Cisco has revealed its most prominent technical forecasts for 2020 and beyond, highlighting through these expectations the rapid changes in information technology in terms of basic concepts.

Osama Al-Zoubi, Cisco Technology CEO in the Middle East and Africa, said: The past decade has witnessed a major change in the way consumers, businesses, sectors and governments use technology, and the global adoption of smartphones has led to the development of cloud computing, applications and social media at a rapid pace, and with 2019 draws to a close, Cisco predicts changes will be even greater in the next decade.

Today’s digital transformation is consuming the maximum capabilities of the current Internet infrastructure which will eventually lead to its full consumption, and accordingly, developing a suitable internet technology for the future is extremely important, and there will be approximately 49 billion devices connected to the Internet by 2023, and the next decade will witness Wider use of advanced technologies like virtual and augmented reality, 16K technology and artificial intelligence.

The Internet infrastructure must be faster, extensible, simpler to manage and safer to enable these new technologies. Cisco has stated that the future of the Internet will be largely dependent on silicon technologies, optical fibers and drivers, and Cisco has recently revealed details of its technology strategy for building the Internet New company aims to stimulate digital innovation beyond the limits of the current infrastructure in performance, economy and energy consumption restrictions, and confirmed that its strategy relies mainly on silicon technologies, optical fibers and drivers.

Brands and application developers should make every effort to retain users, according to the latest AppDynamics App Attention Index results, the use of digital services has evolved and has become an involuntary human behavior.

The research showed that consumers are not satisfied with applications that do not provide an excellent experience, and 49 percent of them move to competing applications if they encounter performance problems, while 63 percent of them are advised not to use that service or brand without giving the company an opportunity to improve it, In 2020 companies have to analyze the performance of data and applications in real time to ensure a fast and exceptional user experience.

Companies need to take preventive steps to avoid threats and security risks related to the Internet, and the Zero Trust technology or the so-called lack of confidence plays an important role in this regard, as it does not allow devices, users or work volumes to enter the network unless it is authorized and that after establishing trust and preventing Threats.

Threat Hunting technology will be more important as part of a comprehensive corporate security approach, as this technology detects unknown malware and new vulnerabilities, and even if no malware is detected, Threat Hunting often identifies vulnerabilities that require caution.

Cisco believes that the future of networks lies in IBN Intentions based networks, which use artificial intelligence and machine learning technology to predict steps, automatically detect and solve alien activities, and stop security threats, while continuing to evolve and learn.

According to a Cisco Global Network Trends survey of 2,000 IT experts, 78 percent of them believe that networks based on intent will play an important role in their networks within two years, while 35 percent say that their networks will become established On full intentions during the same period.
