In this article, Efficiently Connected examines findings from Recast’s 2026 survey of more than 100 European IT professionals highlighting the mounting challenges around application security, compliance, patching, and changing application environments. The survey found that 53% of respondents cite application security and compliance as a top challenge, while 51% point to managing application updates and patches. The article also explores how these pressures intersect with the growing use of Microsoft Intune and changes to VDI and SBC environments.
