Shields Down, Budgets Up
More than half (55 per cent) of IT security directors plan to increase their budgets in the coming year, according to analyst Forrester Research.
The additional spending is attributed to security’s broader scope and move towards information risk management rather than just technology, says the analyst.
‘Security is moving away from a reactive discipline to various technological threats to a more rational process of being able to proactively manage risk,’ said Bill Nagel, author of Forrester’s security survey.
‘The information security officer is no longer a geek, he is becoming more integrated into the business side of things,’ he said.
