This IDC study (which is a translation of the Japanese report IDC #J9220102) analyzes the results of a survey on the use of enterprise security solutions in Japan conducted by IDC in February 2009.
"Companies have become more aware of the importance of IT security solutions as these have an impact on not only their own organizations but also those of their business partners. In particular, information leak solutions and internal control solutions, which enjoy a high level of user interest, are fundamental to business activities and form the backbone of business management. Security vendors and solution vendors should actively market their products and services to the management staffs of user companies. It will also be effective for them to explain the objectives and effectiveness of their solutions to IT and other relevant departments," says Tsuneo Tosaka, research manager, Security, IDC Japan.
