Forrester: SMB IT Security Spending to Increase


ITBusinessEdge: Forrester – SMB IT Security Spending to Increase

SMB Tech blogger Paul Mah hammers home the point that, despite this encouraging data, many SMBs still do not do enough about data and network security.


“A new Forrester report released last week says that a large number of SMBs plan to increase their spending on network security. In the report titled “The State of SMB IT Security and Emerging Trends 2009 to 2010,” about one third (36 percent) of the surveyed SMBs expect their spending in this area to increase by at least 5 percent. A quarter of them say they will increase spending by 10 percent or more.

The report is based on data from a survey of security decision-makers from more than 2,000 organizations.”
