From RSA: Information Security Professionals Say Cuts Leveling Off
From today’s RSA 2009, San Francisco -- More than 70 percent of 1,500 U.S.-based information security professionals responding to a survey say their budgets were reduced the past six months due to the economic downturn, while 55 percent said they did not expect any additional cuts for the remainder of the year.
The Web-based survey was sent to members of (ISC)2 (“ISC-squared”), the world’s largest organization of information security professionals and the not-for-profit global leader in educating and certifying information security professionals throughout their careers. (ISC)2 is keeping the survey open to its members through May 15 when final results will be disclosed.
