Data and information explosion Data volumes are doubling every 18 months.* Storage, security, and discovery around information context is becoming increasingly important. Wireless world Mobile platforms are developing as new means of identification. Security technology is many years behind the security used to protect PCs. Supply chain The chain is only as strong as the weakest link partners need to shoulder their fair share of the load for compliance and the responsibility for failure. Clients expect privacy An assumption or expectation now exists to integrate security into the infrastructure, processes and applications to maintain privacy. Compliance fatigue Organizations are trying to maintain a balance between investing in both the security and compliance postures. *Source: Pyramid Research, October IBM Corporation
