Gartner announced Thursday what it expects to be the top security trends in 2013, citing the rise of cloud computing, social media and employees bringing their own devices to work – all of which are among forces likely to produce radical changes in how enterprises manage IT security, according to an article from Network World.

Earl Perkins, Gartner research vice president, said during a client webinar that the above forces, as well as an “information explosion” in the enterprise, are putting pressure on enterprise IT professionals and vendors by “making some of the existing IT infrastructures obsolete.”
