It is no surprise that security tools remain a secondary purchase amongst IT executives well behind that of productivity tools. This secondary assignment has been exacerbated by economy-inspired belt-tightening. There’s simply no reasonable way to apply ROI a non-event – exactly the outcome we want when a security tool is deployed. Even Google, aggressively moving into applications and host of the Google I/O Developer Conference has seemingly given security short shrift. Our economy has been almost the sole story relative to all things business but I wonder how long it will offer a safe haven excuse for not adequately protecting data; particularly customer, client and patient data?
