Hot on the heels of Forrester Research’s recent prediction that enterprise businesses will increase security spending from 11.7 percent to 12.6 percent of their overall IT budgets during 2009, gateway filtering specialists Finjan have published results of a survey that highlights even more optimistic growth estimates.

“While 2008 saw IT security departments facing new challenges in protecting valuable business data against an ever-increasing wave of cybercrime attacks, 2009 is adding a further economic challenge to the mix.”
