Data from The Security Benchmark Report survey is broken down by sector in an effort to provide security programs with a meaningful comparison among programs in similar market sectors.

For The Security Benchmark Sector Reports, you’ll see data regarding security’s roles, responsibilities and budgets broken down by sector. In certain cases, sectors were combined to create a larger dataset. If a sector didn’t lend itself to combining and the dataset was too small, then that sector was excluded from having its own sector report page, but is included in the main report for all other calculations and comparisons.
