A study commissioned by security software company McAfee reveals a desire for easier management of IT security is being undermined by complex security system purchasing strategies. Despite IT managers demanding a single view of IT security, too many security suppliers, solutions, and management consoles are weighing down businesses with unnecessary complications, McAfee claims. Just over a third of businesses have five or more security solutions deployed, while one in five (22 per cent) enterprises questioned have seven or more different solutions.
