Managing Risk In Today s Digital Economy The perimeter is evolving, increasing complexity and risk. A more mobile workforce, connected partners, and BYOD policies are expanding the perimeter and introducing risk. Employees are the new perimeter. The costs of security are growing exponentially. During the past two years, security spending, as a percentage of the total IT budget, remained strong at about 21% across most industry sectors. * Improving network efficiencies through hybrid WANs and cloud services also increase risk. Organizations relying on Internet for missioncritical connections. Scarcity of in-house security expertise compounds challenges. Initiatives to upgrade security posture are outpacing staff. *Source: Forrester, Martin Whitworth, "Cybersecurity Budgets Remain Strong, Skills Lag in 2016," March 24, 2016.
