There are a bunch of frameworks from Gartner to help with this such as https://www.gartner.com/document-reader/document/4023205?ref=solrAll&refval=442438896 I would use a framework to help organise those applications.

Quick answer, those best suited with features that make them most “cloud ready”, that can do so at the lowest cost.

Factors like data readiness (nature of data, encryption, and the like would also play a role).

Apps that are about to require a major investment in time or money should go first:
- in need of hardware upgrade
- in need of a major software or architecture upgrade

As mentioned above, apps that would benefit most from scalability/elasticity should also be prioritized.

The more legacy (and heavy) an application is, the more beneficial it would be.

The ones that will benefit the most from the elasticity and scalability of cloud infrastructure. Lifting and Shifting a traditional n-tier monolith will result in increased costs and subsequent frustration.

Which key pentesting capability do current AI-driven vendor solutions most fail to cover?

Why do you think there are so few mature AI-driven autonomous pentesting solutions on the market, and why does this topic seem to generate more hype than in-depth technical discussion?

We are in a world obsessed with the latest technologies, where it seems everything even working should be updated or upgraded to avoid the "imposed" in my opinion "digital obsolescence myth". How inclined are you towards innovation and change when the existing systems are certainly working effectively?

Very inclined: I believe in constantly pushing for innovation and improvement, even if the current systems are effective46%

Moderately inclined: I'm open to innovation and change, but only if it clearly enhances or adds value to the existing systems48%

Not inclined: If the current systems are working effectively, I prefer to maintain stability and avoid unnecessary changes5%
