Abstract
This IDC study provides the results from a recent end-user
survey on organizations' future security software deployment plans, given the
current economic situation in Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ. In
this study, IDC asked organizations which security technologies they would
be likely to focus their investments on as well as
the top factors to consider when making decisions regarding security
software deployment. IDC also explored the various software subscription form
factors that organizations would most likely consider over the next
18 months.
"In the past, enterprises spent lavishly on various software
and hardware equipment. With the economic downturn, they are forced
to go back to basics and figure out ways to
optimize these previous investments. Cost saving remains the main theme
in all discussions for new IT and security projects. Security
market investment, although anticipated to remain unchanged over the next
18 months according to the survey results, will also have
to be deployed in a way that can do more
with less," says Judy Wu, research manager, IDC Asia/Pacific Infrastructure
Software.
