Introducing the National Security, Defense, and Intelligence Program: Focusing on Mission Technology Investments and Outcomes

This IDC Perspective details IDC's National Security, Defense, and Intelligence program that looks at six emerging technology areas especially relevant to the defense and national security mission: AI, data management and analytics, cybersecurity, mission-specific platforms, cloud, and professional services. This program will also tangentially look at other mission-specific emerging technologies such as AR/VR, quantum, and robotics."The defense and intelligence missions of government are unique in the role of government and require a unique set of tools and technologies. This IDC program for defense, intelligence, and national security IT leaders along with their technology vendor partners aims to provide a bridge of understanding to support mission outcomes," said Alan Webber, program vice president for National Security, Defense, and Intelligence at IDC.
