Desktop Security Management Trends In 2006
Patch, Vulnerability, and Configuration Management Enter The Mainstream
This is the third document in the "2006 IT Security Adoption And Trends" series.

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)
In January 2006, Forrester surveyed 94 IT decision-makers about their approach to patch and security configuration management. Although two-thirds of the firms surveyed had already deployed tools to automate patch assessment and deployment for desktops and laptops, less than half had deployed vulnerability assessment or security configuration management tools with broader functionality. Many desktops remain vulnerable to potential security breaches through incorrect system, network, or application settings. However, regulatory requirements and the ever-narrower window between vulnerability discovery and exploit will force firms to focus greater attention on these problems.
