Understanding current threats and how to secure maximum protection
The new IDC spending guide forecasts nearly $120 Billion in worldwide spending on security products and services in 2021. Security threats seem to be a daily occurrence with news of breaches becoming the top stories in mainstream media. What are companies to do? The response to mitigating such threats and the allocation of security spend within IT and enterprise budgets is no longer a trivial task.
Security spend was once a narrow set of transactional silo purchases in areas such as anti-virus software, firewalls and similar "first-gen" security technologies. Today, allocating budget is now a far more nuanced and broader challenge spread across an ever-increasing range of people, process and technology concerns. Understanding the current threat landscape will be key to protecting your business and developing an effective security investment strategy.
