Forrester Data Global Business Technographics® Security Survey, 2017: Overview

This report is our overview of global security decision makers’ goals and concerns, cloud security sourcing strategies, breaches, and the risks surrounding emerging technology and the internet of things (IoT). We used data from the Forrester Data Global Business Technographics® Security Survey, 2017, and analyzed the data globally by company size, geography, and industry. Our analysis shows that improving mobile security and complying with business partners’ security requirements are key goals for decision makers in the utilities and telecommunications and manufacturing industries. Global enterprises are more apt to be targeted by breaches than smaller firms. A higher percentage of midmarket security decision makers express concern over the risk of IoT solutions/devices than their enterprise counterparts.
