* The top security projects taking current security professionals’ time
When researchers at International Data Corp. interviewed more than 4000 security professionals worldwide earlier this year, they compiled a list of the top seven projects in which corporate information security teams are currently engaged.
The study — sponsored by the International Information Systems Certification Consortium — also outlined that the number of security professionals taking on these projects will increase by roughly 20% between now and 2010 to more than 2.05 million.

* Biometrics
* Wireless security
* Intrusion prevention
* Identity access and management
* Storage security
* Security event or information management
* Forensics
