Worldwide infosec spending to grow in 2014 Worldwide spending on information security will reach $71.1 billion in 2014, an increase of 7.9 percent over 2013, with the data loss prevention segment recording the fastest growth at 18.9 percent, according to the latest forecast from Gartner, Inc. Total information security spending will grow a further 8.2 percent in 2015 to reach $76.9 billion. According to Gartner, the increasing adoption of mobile, cloud, social and information (often interacting together) will drive use of new security technology and services through 2016. “This Nexus of Forces is impacting security in terms of new vulnerabilities,” said Gartner research director Lawrence Pingree. “It is also creating new opportunities to improve effectiveness, particularly as a result of better understanding security threats by using contextual information and other security intelligence.” Other trends in the information security market that form assumptions behind Gartner’s latest forecast include: By 2015, roughly 10% of overall IT security enterprise product capabilities will be delivered in the cloud. Regulatory pressure will increase in Western Europe and Asia/Pacific from 2014. By year-end 2015, about 30% of infrastructure protection products will be purchased as part of a suite offering. By 2018, more than half of organizations will use security services firms that specialize in data protection, security risk management and security infrastructure management to enhance their security postures. Mobile security will be a higher priority for consumers from 2017 onward.
