Working on a client project where we’re researching security and its priority in corporate spending. Big variable seems to be the security budget and how to allocate resources. What led management to the focus on this area was three things:
1) Intel buying McAfee
2) Recent press about big losses from security breakdowns
3) Infoweek survey report of 1000 companies — shows big concerns and budgets for security.
Any thoughts on which areas are the most important for companies to focus on? We’re leaning heaviest towards staff training and application security for budgeting purposes. Any insights on what other (your companies are doing)?
Thanks
Dale
