Abstract
This Government Insights report draws primarily on IDC' s Asia/Pacific Continuum
Survey, 2008 to provide an analysis of government IT security adoption and
investment plans within the region, and foreseeable market opportunities and
challenges. This analysis serves to guide IT vendors on a viable go-to-market
approach and public sector end users on possible technology selection and
implementation strategies. A detailed case study of an IT security project in
the public sector is also presented for a more focused discussion on successful
IT implementations in the government security market.
"Security is increasingly a basic and holistic requirement of doing business in
government. Protection against a rising number of vulnerabilities, however,
requires educating all business units and end users, especially non-IT staff,
to understand the value and application of the security solutions concerned,"
says Fiona Kanagasingam, senior market analyst, Government Insights,
Asia/Pacific.
