In order to gather both qualitative and quantitative insights, supply-side and demand-side stakeholders were interviewed during the primary research process. CEOs, VPs of Product Development, chief information security officers (CISOs), and heads of supply chain operations from technology vendors, system integrators, and security solution providers were examples of supply-side sources. Chief security officers, supply chain directors, procurement chiefs, and IT security managers from manufacturing companies, retail establishments, healthcare systems, logistics companies, and governmental institutions were examples of demand-side sources. Market segmentation was validated, product development roadmaps were confirmed, and information on pricing models, technology adoption trends, and difficulties with compliance implementation was acquired through primary research.
