Business Technographics North America

by Natalie Lambert

with Christine E. Atwood, Laura Koetzle

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Forrester surveyed 2,434 technology decision-makers at North American small and medium-size businesses (SMBs) and 2,154 technology decision-makers at North American enterprises to understand the state of IT security. What did we learn? That IT security enhancements tied for first place among infrastructure priorities this year, and they took second place among software initiatives. Furthermore, firms of all sizes will be investing in a bevy of security technologies in 2006 and 2007: The widgets most in demand are network access control (NAC), security information management (SIM), and network firewalls. Thus, it's not surprising that 66% of enterprises will increase their spending on network security equipment and services this year.
