This report outlines the benchmarks for Forrester's solution for security and risk (S&R) professionals looking to develop their organization's data security and privacy strategy. Throughout the year, Forrester analysts engage in hundreds of discussions with vendors and end users about data security and privacy. Analysis of B2B survey data from Forrester's Forrsights Security Survey, Q2 2012 and data from the International Association of Privacy Professionals provide an additional layer of insight into the state of data security and privacy today and in the future. This data-driven report outlines budgeting and spending, policies and tools in use, technology adoption plans, and other key data protection and breach trends in North American and European organizations for 2012 to 2013. Understanding these trends and their implications will help security and risk (S&R) executives examine and adjust as necessary their own resource allocation for data security and privacy.
