Why is Security Investment Still Important?

The financial crisis that began in the United States has affected the regional economies in Asia Pacific. Economists have reduced their expectations for GDP growth in 2009. Almost all industry sectors are under increasing pressure. As U.S. companies cut back in all areas, this will directly hurt Asia Pacific manufacturers and service providers.

BUT has the economic meltdown which pose challenges on any organization's security gone away? Definitely NO! They are still present in our current environment. Increasing sophistication of attacks, budget too small to cover necessary security purchases, lack of IT security experts within company, preventing exposure of confidential information and growing complexity of applications and standards will continue to create greater challenges for enterprise’s security management.

Security investments will become ever more important also as businesses need to hedge themselves from further damage caused by security attacks. And during a market downturn, companies need to hold on to their competitive advantage therefore protection of intellectual property is increasingly essential. Furthermore as IT budget will be a little harder to get, organizations will have to understand how to prioritize the resources for strategic projects with optimized ROI. Looking for solutions that can be well integrated into existing infrastructure to generate greater synergy. A holistic solution rather than implementing one-off point product to address various security issues is also another key consideration.

Key issues...

IDC’s Asia/ Pacific SecurityVision 2009 will bring together security experts from across the Asia Pacific to discuss the following hot topics:
