As the new year draws closer, we’ve asked our experts here at Netskope to see what they have on their radar for 2023. Similar to years past, we’ve broken these predictions out into “Long Shots,” more out-there predictions we think could potentially happen in the next year, and “Trending Topics,” predictions around topics you may have seen discussed a bit this year but digging into how we expect them to evolve. Here’s what our experts see for 2023.

Today, we’re announcing formulas: a refreshingly familiar way to interact with data throughout your automated workflows. Rather than invent our own special system to reference and operate on pieces of data, we've taken inspiration from a surprising source – spreadsheets.
