The uptake of IT Security Storage and Business Continuity solutions in Middle East and Africa mirrors the region's rapidly growing markets. Businesses and Government agencies are investing heavily in everything from basic hardware and networks to managed services and mobility solutions. As a result, spending on IT Security and Business Continuity solutions will more than double by 2010, as organizations seek full solutions that address all aspects of the IT environment from the hardware to the people that use it.
Middle East organizations are more dependent than ever on IT in order to keep up with the unprecedented growth of the region's markets, as well as increased competition from international players. As a result, IT failures are commonplace and managing IT environments is becoming much more complex, thus increasing exposure to all forms of IT risk. An inability to manage these threats effectively will put your entire businesses at risk.
At this year's IT Security, Storage, and Business Continuity Roadshow, IDC takes a new approach to security, treating it as a process that includes proactive attention to details and the human factor in policy implementation. It also takes a preventative approach featuring IT security gurus that help you recognize threats before they shut down your operations. Our analysts will provide guidance on understanding security as a process and on remembering that the primary aim of any organization is providing a safe framework for business operations and access to key systems.
