03.23.2009 - IT Embracing Managed Security To Meet Security Challenges

CUPERTINO, Calif. – Mar. 23, 2009 – Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC) today released the findings of its 2009 Managed Security in the Enterprise Report. The study found that cyber risks and actual attacks have grown significantly in the past two years and are expected to continue to grow in the next two years. Nearly all organizations surveyed (98 percent) have experienced tangible loss as a result. This growth in risks and attacks comes at a time when IT reports it is difficult to address the problems due to inadequate budgets, increased regulatory pressures and staffing woes. As a result, most U.S. enterprises (61 percent) are moving to adopt managed security services. The study is based on surveys of 1,000 IT managers in U.S. and European enterprises in January 2009. - View Press Release - Visit Symantec Corp.
