I laugh at the premise that somehow, suddenly, because of an economic crisis, that companies will bust loose with money to buy IT security gear! I thought security was a difficult sale. There's no ROI. It's only insurance and a poor substitute for fixing a problem only after the damage is done? Now, all of a sudden, security is hot? Is Gartner behind this research? Are they calling for another technology shift?
Personally, I think the gloom will translate into more budget cuts and rifs. IT will be asked to do more with less and be more accountable to the bottom. When the going gets tough, IT gets slapped around...usually. Perhaps now it time to turn the tables and show management just what it's made of? Can IT be the savior, demonstrating how it enables productivity and cost-savings? Well, I guess only time will tell.
The graph has a mistake...
...or you are the first organization to say that UTM is declining.
