Anti-Spyware Technology is Hot but Spending Levels Are Not, According to in-Depth Interviews with Fortune 1000 and Mid-Size Enterprise Security Professionals Conducted by TheInfoPro (TIP).NEW YORK New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of -- TheInfoPro (TIP), www.TheInfoPro.net, has released Wave 5 of its Information Security Study. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. over 260 in-depth interviews with leading-edge Information Security professionals conducted by TheInfoPro (TIP), 2005 spending on Anti-Spyware technology will be low. While the vast majority of enterprise users have the technology in use or in their deployment plans, critical and in use don't equate to revenue and spending. TIP's patent-pending Technology Heat Index(TM) factors in the current and planned usage of 39 different Information Security technologies, including Anti-Spyware, Identity Management, Endpoint Authentication, Firewalls, Security Management, and Enterprise Single Sign-On Enterprise single sign-on (E-SSO) systems are designed to minimize the number of times that a user must type their ID and password to sign into multiple applications. The E-SSO solution automatically logs users in, and acts as a password filler where automatic login is not possible. , prioritizing them based on the immediacy of planned implementation and near-term spending. Anti-Spyware ranked at the very top of the index, far surpassing User Provisioning The ability for customers to change voice and data services from their carriers online without having to place the order with a human representative. Web-based user provisioning lets you add and delete services and features from your browser. See automated provisioning. Management and Network Intrusion Prevention, which immediately follow it in the index. Despite the immediacy of implementation indicated by its high ranking on the TIP Technology Heat Index, customers indicate that their spending projections for the technology are low. Enterprise customers expect to rely on their existing agreements and licenses for Anti-Spyware. Their view is that existing Anti-Virus and other security products will incorporate Anti-Spyware technology, addressing the concern at a very low - or no - additional cost to the enterprise. TIP found that of the Fortune 1000 Security professionals interviewed: --Over 42% have Anti-Spyware currently in use. --An additional 48% of interviewees have the technology in their deployment plans, of which 34% is in the near term and 14% is longer term. --78% of enterprises expect to spend less than $100K this year on Anti-Spyware. --Only 20% of enterprises expect to spend between $100K and $500K, and almost no enterprises interviewed plan on increasing their spending on Anti-Spyware. "Considering the number of enterprises planning on deploying the technology to a very large number of users, it is especially telling that their spending plans are so low," notes Henry D. Nissenbaum, TIP's Managing Director for Information Security Research. "Information Security managers see the technology as a necessity but expect that it will be included in products for which they already have license and maintenance agreements." The large enterprise customers list vendors Symantec, McAfee, Microsoft, CA, and to a lesser extend Trend Micro and Webroot, as those they will look to for Anti-Spyware solutions. Mid-sized enterprises share the same concerns and planning for Anti-Spyware. Interestingly, the vendors in consideration for the mid-sized enterprises have a different ordering, with Trend Micro taking a leading role along with Microsoft and Symantec, but with McAfee and CA playing a smaller role. The Information Security Study captures decision makers' technology roadmaps, vendor performance ratings, detailed commentary, and spending plans on over 100 vendors of Network Security, Security Infrastructure and Security Management solutions, including 3Com, Juniper, Nokia, IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company.
